The Citrus Spinach Smoothie is a vibrant, refreshing blend of leafy greens, citrus fruits, banana, and pineapple, offering a zesty, nutrient-rich drink that supports energy and immunity with every sip.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 orange, peeled and segmented
  • 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or orange juice
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional, as needed)

Instructions

  1. Add the spinach, orange segments, banana, and pineapple to a blender.
  2. Pour in almond milk or orange juice and add lemon or lime juice.
  3. Add yogurt if using, along with chia seeds or flax seeds.
  4. Drizzle in honey or maple syrup if more sweetness is desired.
  5. Add a few ice cubes for a colder, thicker texture.
  6. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  7. Taste and adjust the tartness or sweetness to your liking.
  8. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Add a small piece of fresh ginger for an immune-boosting kick.
  • Swap pineapple for mango for a tropical twist.
  • Use kale or romaine with spinach for a more diverse green base.
  • Make a smoothie bowl by using less liquid and topping with fruit and granola.
  • Best served fresh, but can be stored in the fridge up to 24 hours.
