The Minty Green Smoothie is a refreshing, nutrient-rich blend of leafy greens, sweet fruit, and fresh mint. It’s cool, creamy, and energizing—perfect for mornings, post-workout, or a healthy pick-me-up.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach or kale
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
  • 5–6 fresh mint leaves
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional, as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add the spinach or kale, banana, pineapple, and fresh mint to a high-speed blender.
  2. Pour in the almond milk and add yogurt if using.
  3. Squeeze in lime juice for brightness, if desired.
  4. Add chia seeds or flax seeds for extra nutrition.
  5. Include ice cubes for a colder texture.
  6. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding maple syrup or honey if needed.
  8. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate mint variation.
  • Use mango or kiwi instead of pineapple for a tropical twist.
  • Add cucumber slices for extra hydration and a refreshing taste.
  • Use frozen fruit and less liquid for a smoothie bowl version.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
