Instructions
- Gather ingredients: Collect all your fresh spinach, avocado, frozen pineapple chunks, unsweetened coconut water, grated ginger, and optional chia seeds to ensure you have everything ready for a smooth blending process.
- Prepare ingredients: Measure the required quantities accurately; the spinach should be packed for the right amount, grate the fresh ginger finely, and halve or peel the avocado if necessary to facilitate blending.
- Combine in blender: Place the fresh spinach, avocado, frozen pineapple chunks, unsweetened coconut water, grated ginger, and chia seeds (if using) into a high-powered blender.
- Blend until smooth: Secure the blender lid tightly and process on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy with no chunks remaining.
- Serve immediately: Pour the vibrant green smoothie into glasses and enjoy right away to benefit from optimal freshness and nutrient retention.
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender for the creamiest consistency; standard blenders may require longer blending.
- Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 but can be omitted if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of coconut water to alter thickness to your liking.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours if necessary.
- For a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes or use frozen spinach instead of fresh.
