Ingredients

2 large handfuls of fresh spinach (about 2 cups, loosely packed)

1 ½ cups fresh or frozen pineapple chunks

½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt

1 cup plain, low-fat kefir (or dairy-free alternative)

¼ cup coconut water, plus more as needed

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Unsweetened shredded coconut, for garnish (optional)

Ice cubes (optional, for thicker texture)


Instructions

  1. Blend the ingredients:
    Add spinach, pineapple, yogurt, kefir, coconut water, ginger, and cinnamon to a high-powered blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.

  2. Adjust consistency:
    Add a few ice cubes for a thicker smoothie or extra coconut water to thin it out.

  3. Taste and customize:
    Taste your smoothie and add a drizzle of honey, agave, or maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness.

  4. Serve immediately:
    Pour into two glasses, sprinkle with shredded coconut if desired, and enjoy right away for maximum freshness and nutrient benefit.

Notes

  • Frozen pineapple makes the smoothie naturally chilled and creamy.
  • Dairy-free option: Substitute coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based kefir.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or blend again before drinking.
  • Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and healthy fats.
