Get your greens with this dairy free super green smoothie. Loaded with fresh spinach and sweet pineapple, it’s a vibrant way to start your day!
During the winter months, I don’t crave smoothies as much as I do in the summer. I’d rather have something warm and hearty when it’s cold outside. However, smoothies are one of the easiest and quickest ways to get a boost of fruits and veggies. So smoothies all year round it is!
For green smoothies, the two most favored greens to use would be kale and spinach. Both super healthy and packed with vitamins A and K. As much as I love kale, I prefer spinach in my smoothies. Kale can just be bitter and overpower the other flavors of the smoothie. I stick with baby spinach {LOADS of baby spinach}. I still have the sweetness from the fruit coming through and I get my greens at the same time.
This dairy free super green smoothie takes about 5 minutes to make and you’ve got a nutrient-dense smoothie. Spinach, pineapple, banana, almond milk and lemon juice make up the base. Then you’ve got the superfoods. Chia seeds to add fiber and antioxidants. Hemp seed hearts to add protein and those omega’s.
