Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 cup frozen strawberries

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned if unavailable)

1 ripe banana

1 cup coconut water (or almond milk for a creamier texture)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)

Instructions
 

Begin by washing the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.

    In a blender, add the fresh spinach leaves first, followed by the frozen strawberries and fresh pineapple chunks. The spinach at the bottom helps to blend smoothly.

      Next, peel and slice the banana, adding it to the blender.

        Pour in the coconut water (or almond milk) to help facilitate blending.

          If you’re using chia seeds for an added nutrient boost, include them now along with honey or agave syrup if desired.

            Add a few ice cubes if you want a thicker, colder smoothie.

              Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks left. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender for an even blend.

                Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding more honey/agave if desired.

                  Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately, garnished with a strawberry or pineapple slice on the rim if you're feeling fancy!
