Notes

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.
