Pineapple Green Smoothie Recipe

This Pineapple Green Smoothie recipe made with spinach is so good I even got my soon to be daughter in-law to drink it.

And she liked it! Why am I surprised?

Because that girl does not like anything. She is the pickiest eater I have ever met.

But after sucking down this Pineapple Green Smoothie she wanted to know if I would make them for her every day.

My answer to that was don't you have a blender? It was a trick question because I just gave her a blender about a month ago.

So I wrote the recipe down for her and sent her on her way.

Green Smoothies are good for you!

I was looking through some old posts when I came across this totally ugly photo of the Green Monster Smoothie recipe I shared many moons ago.

The recipe is great but the photo is horrendous! One of these days I will update the photo.

I also made a Kiwi Cucumber Smoothie recipe that is so refreshing. Cucumber really perks the flavor of a green smoothie up.

You've got to try it!

How to make a green smoothie that isn't bitter?

Have you ever tried a green smoothie before and found it too bitter? I understand the desire to make a healthy choice and avoid adding sugar to your recipes.

The good news is that when you use fruit in your smoothie recipe, you usually don't need to add sugar. However, the fresh spinach or kale can give the green smoothie an unpleasant bitter taste.

But don't worry! I have a fantastic tip for you.

Instead of adding sugar, try adding a teaspoon of natural honey to your green smoothie recipe. The honey will help cut through the bitterness and make your smoothie incredibly enjoyable.

You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll be sipping on that delicious green smoothie. Give it a try and see for yourself!

How to start making healthy smoothies?

Struggling to eat enough fruits and veggies every day?

We get it – life can get hectic! But don't worry, there's a simple solution!

Introducing smoothies – the ultimate time-friendly and nutritious option.

Say goodbye to skipping meals or settling for unhealthy choices. With smoothies, you can easily incorporate all the goodness your body needs. Let's make healthy eating a breeze together!

6 things you need to start making smoothies

All you need is a few basic ingredients and a good blender to add juicing or smoothies to your life.

1. Fresh fruit
2. Fresh vegetables
3. a milk product or juice
4. yogurt
5. ice
6. a good blender

A Blender: Having a reliable and powerful blender is absolutely essential for your daily smoothie-making routine. Once you develop the habit of enjoying a refreshing smoothie for breakfast, lunch, or as a mid-day snack, your blender is going to be put to the test.

Tired of your blender breaking down? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Say goodbye to frozen fruit and ice cubes ruining your average blender. Instead, upgrade to a good blender and save yourself the hassle of burning through multiple $40 blenders. Trust us, you'll thank yourself later!

I've had a decent blender for years now and couldn't be happier. It rips right through ice and frozen fruit like a dream. I get a perfect smoothie every time.

• Dairy or non-dairy milks: Love creamy smoothies? Try making them with your choice of milk! Whether it's regular milk, coconut milk, almond milk, or any other milk you prefer, the possibilities are endless.

But here's a little tip: using fruit or vegetable juice will give your smoothie a unique and exciting texture, totally different from the creaminess of milk or non-dairy options. So go ahead and get creative with your ingredients for a smoothie experience like no other!

• Fruits & Vegetables: Discover your perfect smoothie combination by using your favorite fruits and vegetables. Experiment with different flavors until you find the ultimate blend that will make you crave your daily dose of smoothie goodness. You're just a mix and a match away from fruity bliss!

Frozen or fresh fruits and vegetables can be used.

• Yogurt: Choose your favorite yogurt flavor and thickness for the perfect smoothie. While some may prefer the sweetness of vanilla, I personally love the refreshing taste of plain yogurt in my smoothies.

• Smoothie Sweeteners: Want a naturally sweet smoothie? No need to add extra sweeteners! Most smoothie ingredients like yogurt and fruit are already sweet enough. However, if you're making a green smoothie with spinach or kale, a touch of honey can balance out their slightly bitter flavor.

• Ice: Ice is an absolute breeze. You have options - store-bought ice cubes, ice cubes from an ice maker, or the classic homemade ice cubes from an ice cube tray.

And of course you need a strong blender. As I mentioned I own and love my Blendtec blender. You can use whatever blender you own until you burn it up and need to buy a good strong blender like a Blendtec.
