Instructions:
- Pineapple: Chop the pineapple into small chunks. If using fresh pineapple, remove the skin and core first.
- Mango: Peel the mango and chop it into small pieces, discarding the pit.
- Spinach and Kale: Rinse the spinach and kale leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towel.

- Place the chopped pineapple, mango, spinach, and kale into a blender.
- Pour the coconut milk into the blender over the fruits and greens.
- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Start blending on a low speed and gradually increase to high speed.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are fully combined. This should take about 1–2 minutes, depending on your blender's power.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust the consistency if needed. If it's too thick, you can add a little more coconut milk or water.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, you can add a teaspoon of honey or a few drops of stevia.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass or a travel cup.
- Optionally, garnish with a few fresh pineapple or mango slices or a sprinkle of chia seeds for a decorative touch.
- Sip and enjoy your refreshing and nutrient-packed green smoothie immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips:
- Use frozen pineapple and mango for a thicker and colder smoothie.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a bit more coconut milk or water.
- For added protein, consider throwing in a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a serving of Greek yogurt.
- Blend the greens first with the coconut milk before adding the fruit to ensure a smoother texture.
- Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients like flax seeds, chia seeds, or a dash of honey for extra flavor and nutrition.
