When do you think about “healthy breakfast” … what’s one of the first foods that pop into your mind?
If it’s a green smoothie, you’re not alone!
Smoothies can be a quick and easy option when you want something cool and refreshing … and I’ve got a spicy-sweet green smoothie recipe that I think you’ll love.
FROZEN GRAPE TIP: Wash and dry the grapes thoroughly then spread them out on a freezer-safe sheet pan. Put the pan in the freezer until the grapes are frozen (about an hour). Then you can transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag.
Freezing grapes separately can help stop them from freezing together.
Pineapple Green Smoothie
(Serves 1)
- 1 cup (150 grams) chopped fresh or frozen pineapple
- 1 cup (30 grams) packed chopped spinach
- 1 cup (95 grams) green grapes, frozen
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp ground flaxseed
- 1-2 Tbsp your milk alternative, water, or coconut water, as needed
- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Add liquid (milk alternative, water, or coconut water) as needed if the mixture is too thick.
Pour into a glass and drink up!
Here’s another frozen grape tip: they can make a great snack if you are craving something cold and sweet.
Hope you enjoy this one!
