Earthy smoothie that’s both sweet — from the pineapple–and slightly spicy– from the ginger. This a refreshing, healthy treat that can be eaten for breakfast or for a pick-me-up, energizing snack.
Ingredients
1-2 cups of greens (spinach or kale)
1 cup diced pineapple
1 green apple, sliced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed
1-2 Tablespoons cashew or almond butter (swap in a seed butter for nut allergies)
Water, a need for desire texture and consistency
Ice, as needed
* To make the smoothie a little sweeter, add in 1-2 dates or ½ a frozen, ripe banana.
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
Sliced almonds
Unsweetened coconut flakes
Hemp Seeds
Sliced apples, kiwi, and/or pineapple
Instructions
- Wash and prep the produce. Combine the greens, pineapple, apple, ginger, flax, and nut butter in a blender. Start with 1 cup of water and add more as needed for thinning. Add ice, until it reaches desired texture. Blend until smooth.
- Pour into 2 bowls and top with optional toppings. Enjoy!
