Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option) Full-fat milk is recommended for better texture.
  • 0.5 cup pineapple chunks Fresh or canned can be used; canned is easier for blending.
  • 1 banana Adds creaminess and sweetness.
  • 1 handful spinach Optional but adds nutrition without altering flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon honey Optional, adjust based on sweetness preference.
  • 1 handful ice For a chilled smoothie.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a blender, combine milk, pineapple chunks, banana, spinach, honey, and ice.
  • Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  • Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

Try using pineapple juice instead of milk for a lighter, fruity drink. If using fresh pineapple, consider lightly heating it to reduce bromelain activity, which can help prevent curdling.
