Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add the coconut water and spinach to the blender first and blend until smooth — starting with the liquid and greens keeps it from clumping.
  2. Add the frozen pineapple, banana, and chia seeds.
  3. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until completely creamy. Add a splash more coconut water if it is too thick.
  4. Pour into two glasses and drink right away while cold.

Tips

  • Freeze ripe bananas in chunks so you always have some ready.
  • Swap spinach for kale if you want a stronger green flavor — just remove the tough stems first.
