A quick and easy green smoothie bowl packed with fresh spinach, banana, pineapple, and creamy Greek yogurt for a wholesome and refreshing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (about 60g), washed and roughly chopped
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks (about 150g)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut water (120ml)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (60g), plain or vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • Optional toppings: sliced kiwi or berries, granola, shredded coconut or hemp seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: wash and roughly chop spinach, peel and slice banana, measure frozen pineapple chunks, coconut water, and other ingredients. (5 minutes)
  2. Blend spinach and coconut water first on high for about 30 seconds until fully liquefied and bright green. (1 minute)
  3. Add banana, frozen pineapple, and Greek yogurt. Blend again until creamy and smooth, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. (2 minutes)
  4. Add chia seeds and honey or maple syrup if using. Pulse briefly just to combine without overblending. (30 seconds)
  5. Squeeze fresh lime juice in and give a final quick blend. Adjust consistency by adding more coconut water if too thick or more frozen pineapple if too thin. (1 minute)
  6. Pour smoothie into a bowl and top with your favorite toppings such as sliced kiwi, granola, and shredded coconut. (2 minutes)

Notes

Blend spinach with coconut water first to avoid leafy chunks. Use ripe banana for natural sweetness. Add chia seeds at the end to prevent gummy texture. If blender struggles with frozen fruit, add frozen pineapple gradually. For vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
