Coconut Pineapple Green Smoothie

Let’s take a virtual vacation and pretend we’re sitting on a beach somewhere sipping this Coconut Pineapple Green Smoothie.

Before we dive into the delicious details of this recipe I need to give a shout out to my hunk of a husband who actually TOOK all of the photos in today’s post! I was on a crazy deadline but also working my full time job. Somehow this recipe slipped through the cracks and I completely forgot that I needed to get it submitted for my colab smoothie ebook. He busted out the blender, and after a quick over the phone course on how to use my camera, whipped up this tasty drink! Not too shabby, eh? He really is one of those people who can pick up on any hobby and instantly be amazing at it.

But let’s get back to business. For this recipe I highly recommend grabbing a fresh pineapple. Don’t worry if it’s out of season or you can’t get passed the idea of slicing it yourself (which is easier than you think and tutorials can be found on YouTube). Canned will still do in a pinch. I just feel like you really do get a better flavor punch if you pick a nice ripe one and there’s the added bonus that it freezes well! Any direction you decide to go you’ll be over-the-moon excited about how refreshing this drink really is.

Once you’ve got all of your ingredients together add all of your ingredients into a blender and BAM. You’ve got a green smoothie that’s packed with potassium, calcium, vitamin C, and fiber! I chose to use fresh spinach to give mine that super green color but you could easily substitute that with kale. This makes only one serving so my only suggestion is to double up if you plan on sharing! In just a few minutes you’ll be sipping on this smoothie and imaging yourself on a beach under the warm sun with waves crashing down around you.
