Pineapple Spinach Smoothie

There are days where finding the time to eat right can be a daunting task. One of the quickest and easiest ways to remedy the situation is to get the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs in a fresh and easy to drink green smoothie.

Pineapple Spinach Smoothie served into small glasses

My favourite green has to be spinach, I love its mild taste and how easy it is to blend with other ingredients. This smoothie was inspired by a recipe for Pineapple Spinach Juice with Ginger I posted a couple of years ago.

Though it's a tasty and refreshing juice and I do enjoy mixing vegetables with fruit to create delicious juices, we need so much more fruit and veggies when juicing to produce the same amount of servings as we do when making smoothies.

Plus, with smoothies, we get the nutritional benefits of fibre since we're using whole fruits and vegetables. And since fibre keeps us feeling full longer, smoothies are better for keeping our appetites in check.

How to Make a Spinach Pineapple Smoothie

Though I used spinach in this recipe, you can easily use kale to make this smoothie. Smoothies are often made creamy by adding banana to the mix, I used avocado for this green smoothie. The pineapple and green apple sweeten the smoothie and a touch of fresh ginger gives this smoothie just the right amount of zing to help us feel refreshed and energized.

Ingredients Overview:

  • Pineapple. Frozen or fresh pineapple works.
  • Spinach. I used fresh for this recipe. You could also use baby kale.
  • Green apple
  • Avocado. You could use fresh or frozen avocado.
  • Ginger. I used fresh ginger.
  • Water. I added water to thin down the smoothie.  
  • Honey. This is optional, you could add the sweetener you prefer. For a vegan smoothie, I like to use maple syrup. If you like your smoothies less sweet, you may not find this smoothie needs any sweetener at all.

Place all of the ingredients in the blender. Blend and add ice before blending again and serving.

Pineapple Spinach Smoothie poured into two small glasses with larger bottle in background.

If you haven't had a green smoothie yet, this Pineapple Spinach Smoothie is where you should start. The mild taste of spinach means this drink doesn't have an overwhelming veggie taste.

Try serving this smoothie to your kids, there's a good chance they'll actually like it. One out of my two did!

How to Store:

I find smoothies are best consumed straight away, but if you have leftovers, you can pour the spinach and pineapple smoothie into popsicle moulds and enjoy them later as a frozen treat!

If you make this recipe let me know how it went for you in the comment section below. I'd love to know if you made any variations to the recipe and how it worked out. And if you take a picture, share it with me on Instagram by tagging #sweetandsavourypursuits, I love to see your photos!

    This sounds like the perfect breakfast smoothie. How can I incorporate more protein with this smoothie without using protein powder

      Hi Carla, to add more protein to this smoothie, I would use Greek yogurt since it contains more protein. You could also add a bit of oats, see my post on Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie to see how you can incorporate it. And lastly, a tablespoon or two of almond butter might work as well, just not sure about the taste. Start with one tablespoon and if you think it tastes good you could add a bit more.

      Sure, I don't see why not, if anything it should make it even creamier!
