Vegan Pineapple Spinach Ingredients

• Frozen Pineapple Chunks: 1 cup—adds tropical sweetness and vitamin C and makes the smoothie bright and juicy.
• Frozen Banana: 1 medium banana—adds creaminess and balances the tartness of the pineapple.
• Fresh Spinach: 1 cup—mild-tasting greens that blend smoothly and add iron, fiber, and color.
• Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder: 1 scoop—makes the smoothie creamy and filling without adding dairy.
• Unsweetened Apple Juice: ¾ cup—adds fruity flavor and blends everything together nicely.
• Ice Cubes: ½ cup—chills and thickens the smoothie without watering it down.

How to Make the Vegan Pineapple Spinach at Home

1. Add liquid and greens first: Pour in apple juice and add spinach. This helps the greens blend completely without chunks.
2. Add frozen fruit and protein: Toss in pineapple, banana, and protein powder to build a sweet, creamy base.
3. Add ice and blend: Blend on high for about 45–60 seconds until everything is smooth and chilled.
4. Taste and adjust: Want it sweeter? Add a few frozen mango chunks or a dash of maple syrup.
