Easy Green Smoothie Recipe for Beginners

This easy green smoothie recipe is perfect for beginners. Also, it’s the most delicious smoothie I’ve ever had. Really. The mix of pineapple, coconut water and banana is JUST sweet enough to feel like a treat. And the spinach makes it good for you.

So satisfying that I make one of these easy green smoothie recipes for breakfast almost every day.

Try it and you too can feel like a winner a life at 7:30am.

You: 1, Bagels: 0
 I usually share with the kids, who guzzle down a few gulps along with breakfast.

Tip: I have one child who’s resistant to spinach in her smoothies. Bless. For her, and the “ewwws” she inspires in her siblings around the breakfast bar, I’ve started serving the whole gang’s smoothies in colored cups. No see-through materials for them! And guess what: problem solved. What they can’t see (as well) won’t seem yucky.

What you need to make this easy green smoothie recipe

All you need are 3 ingredients, with very specific measurements:

• 2 handfuls of fresh baby spinach
• 1 banana
• 1 handful of frozen pineapple

Plus a blender. I’ve used lots of different kinds and they all get the job done:

• Ninja Smoothie Blender (Inexpensive and great because you blend the smoothie in cups you also drink out of.)
• Vitamix (An investment that’s strong enough to make smooth hummus, and even flour! For limited kitchen space, it’s one appliance that works hard in tons of ways. You can find better appliances with CookWare Solutions.)

Add about 1 cup of water–or if you’re feeling fancy coconut water–and blend.

End.

How easy was that?

Now you know why I call it the easy green smoothie recipe for beginners.
