Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh spinach (lightly packed)
  • 1/2 cup kale (stems removed, lightly packed)
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 1 small frozen banana (or 1/2 large)
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple (or mango)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (plus more to taste)
  • 4–6 fresh mint leaves (or 2–3 basil leaves for a twist)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (or ground flaxseed)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional, whey or plant-based)
  • 1 to 1 1/4 cups liquid (water, coconut water, or unsweetened almond milk)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Ice (a few cubes if you like it extra cold)

Instructions
 

  • Add liquids first. Pour your chosen liquid into the blender. This helps the blades catch the greens more easily.
  • Layer greens and seeds. Add spinach, kale, chia (or flax), and the pinch of salt.
  • Add creaminess and fruit. Scoop in the avocado, then add banana, pineapple, lemon juice, and mint or basil.
  • Optional protein. If using protein powder, sprinkle it in now to avoid clumping.
  • Blend until smooth. Start on low, then increase to high for 30–60 seconds. Add a splash more liquid if it’s too thick, or a few ice cubes for a frostier texture.
  • Taste and adjust. Add a little more lemon for brightness, a leaf or two more mint for freshness, or a touch more fruit for sweetness.
  • Serve immediately. Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy while it’s vibrant and cold.
