In this post, I am going to walk you through making a super delicious green pineapple smoothie.
I am obsessed with smoothies! I have a smoothie every morning for breakfast. I make smoothies at work for our athletes and I preach about the wonderfulness of smoothies pretty much every day.
I have found that adding avocado to a smoothie is like the ultimate YES! It makes the smoothie super creamy and delightful but doesn’t alter the flavor. Plus, avocado + spinach gives the smoothie an awesome bright green color (the photos don’t do it justice, it’s beautiful).
I have a Nutri Ninja Pro that I LOVE. It comes with 2 cups that I can make the smoothies right into the cup and then drink from there. It’s perfect and works so well – no chunks in my smoothies!
I have had my Ninja for a couple years now and use it daily and it’s still working like a charm!
Ok, let’s talk Green Pineapple Smoothie.
- 1/4 Avocado
- 1/2 cup Frozen Pineapple
- 1/2 Frozen Banana
- 2/3 cup Greek Yogurt (Plain or Vanilla)
- 1 large handful Spinach
- 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (Optional)
- 4 oz. Milk or Milk alternative
- Combine all ingredients into the blender and blend. Serve cold.
Easy peasy and delicious! Enjoy!
Fun tip: You can buy frozen, diced avocados, which are perfect for keeping in the freezer for adding to smoothies since fresh avocados can go bad quickly.
What is your favorite smoothie combo/ingredient?
Yumm!! I Love a good green smoothie!!
We make a lot of smoothies, but I’ve yet to make one with avocados. I’m curious to try this as I bet it’s super creamy and delicious. BTW – do you think I can omit the protein powder?
Absolutely! Protein powder is optional but I would definitely put in some Greek yogurt to get that protein in!
Yum yum yum. I love smoothies and I especially love pineapple. Definitely going to have to add this stuff to my grocery list this weekend! Thanks for the great idea!!
Hope you enjoy!!
This looks amazing. I love anything pineapple. I’ll have to try this!!
Yummm! I make smoothies every morning for my husband and I so I will have to try this recipe out!
I’m going to have to try this! We just got a Ninja for a housewarming gift and I’ve been experimenting with smoothies every since!
Yay! Smoothies are the best!
