Vegan Green Smoothie with Spinach
I absolutely love how this smoothie transforms the earthy taste of spinach into something light and refreshing. The frozen banana creates a creamy texture that makes you feel like you're indulging in a treat rather than drinking something healthy. It's my go-to when I need a quick nutrient infusion without spending hours in the kitchen.
Ingredients

- ☐ fresh spinach — 2 cups, loosely packed

Instructions
Tap a step to mark it complete as you cook.
Add the frozen banana, spinach, coconut milk, pineapple chunks, and chia seeds to a high-speed blender.
Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to high, blending for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth.
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add maple syrup one teaspoon at a time and blend for another 10 seconds to incorporate.
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. The smoothie will thicken as it sits, so add a splash of coconut milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Recipe notes
For best results, use frozen fruit to create a thicker, creamier smoothie without needing ice. You can substitute the pineapple with mango or frozen peaches for variety. This smoothie also makes a great post-workout recovery drink due to its balanced carbohydrate and protein content.
