Orange Pineapple Green Smoothie

I typically don’t make food related resolutions, per se, but it always feels good to get back on track after the holidays by eating fewer refined grains and sugars, and more fruits and vegetables.

Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get that done, especially at breakfast and lunch time.

And I love that smoothies are the perfect way to slip in a little extra collagen for protein and colostrum for gut health and immune function!

How To Make This Orange Pineapple Green Smoothie

Blend on low-medium speed until incorporated, then on high until smooth.

Tips For Making This Orange Pineapple Green Smoothie;

• Make sure to use frozen pineapple. It makes the smoothie thick and cold, if you used fresh pineapple it wouldn’t have the same consistency.
• If you don’t have pineapple frozen banana or 1-2 Medjool dates work well for thickening, but it won’t be as zingy.
• When selecting greens, I like “baby” versions since they’re picked earlier and have a much softer texture than more mature greens. Spinach is my favorite because of it’s silky smooth texture, but baby kale or other baby greens could be substituted as well.
• If you don’t have a high speed blender try tilting the blender and giving it a little shake if the ingredients get stuck. You can also stop it and stir the ingredients with a spoon then continue blitzing.
• For a creamy version, add 1/2 cup coconut milk.
