Ingredients:

1.50 cups spinach
44g
1 cup coconut milk
240g
1 cup canned pineapple
250g
1/4 avocado
50g
1.67 scoop whey protein powder
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash and roughly chop the spinach if not already pre-washed.
- Measure out 1 cup of coconut milk. You can use canned or carton coconut milk based on availability and preference.
- Drain and measure 1 cup of canned pineapple, making sure to include some of the juice for added sweetness and liquid.
- Cut and remove 1/4 of an avocado from the peel and seed. Measure out approximately 50 grams.
2. Blend the Base:
- In a high-speed blender, add the fresh spinach.
- Pour in the coconut milk.
- Add the canned pineapple along with its juice.
3. Add the Creaminess and Protein:
- Scoop out the avocado into the blender.
- Add 1.67 scoops (approximately 50 grams) of whey protein powder.
4. Blend Until Smooth:
- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Start at a low speed to initially blend the ingredients, then gradually increase to high speed.
- Blend for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
5. Check Consistency:
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more coconut milk or water to reach your desired consistency. Blend again briefly to mix.
6. Serve:
- Pour the green protein smoothie into a glass.
- Optional: Garnish with a slice of pineapple or a few spinach leaves for a decorative touch.
7. Enjoy:
- Drink immediately for the best taste and nutritional benefits.

Tips:

- For an extra creamy texture, use frozen pineapple chunks.

- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add some ice cubes to the blender.

- Feel free to add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for an additional nutritional boost.

- Ensure the avocado is ripe for the smoothest consistency.

- If you don’t have coconut milk, almond milk or any plant-based milk can be a good substitute.

This Green Protein Smoothie is a fantastic way to enjoy a balanced blend of nutrients in a single glass. It's easy to make, incredibly versatile, and wonderfully refreshing. Enjoy it as a breakfast option, post-workout refuel, or even as a nutrient-packed snack. Happy blending!
