Instructions:

- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes depending on the power of your blender.

Tips:
- For an even creamier texture, consider adding ice cubes before blending.
- To boost the nutritional content, you can add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, a dash of honey or a ripe banana can be added.
- Try to use fresh spinach for the best flavor and nutritional benefits, but frozen can work in a pinch.
- Opt for unsweetened coconut milk to keep the sugar content low and let the natural sweetness of the pineapple shine.
