Ingredients

  1. 2 cups of fresh chopped spinach or kale.
  2. 1/2 ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
  3. 1 orange peeled (make it 2 one for juicing)
  4. 1/2 cup of orange juice (Chilled)
  5. 1 lemon juiced
  6. 1 cup of pineapple pieces crushed or frozen
  7. 1 cup of chilled or iced water. (for a chilled smoothie optional.)

Instructions

  1. In a blender add the ingredients. Firstly the spinach and then the orange, pineapple and banana. Then the liquids such as the orange juice and lemon juice and iced water. (you can use less iced water if you do not want your smoothie to be liquidly, its optional) even add some ice cubes if you require a more chilled smoothie. 
  2. These fruits can be frozen before hand and placed in individual zip lock bags in the freezer. For a quick breakfast or snack during the day. This will make the smoothie nice and chilled.
  3. Start blending on low until the spinach and other ingredients have started blending nicely then increase the speed for about a minute or two. Until all the ingredients are blended well.
  4. Serve in a large glass and enjoy.

Notes

Substitutions.

You can use coconut water or coconut milk instead of the plain water.

The spinach can be replaced by kale.

Use mango instead of pineapple if desired. Even apple will sweeten it up. 

Lemon is totally optional and leave out if you prefer. If you want the mixture to be sweeter then use more orange juice or a tablespoon of Honey.

Add in any nuts or hemp seeds.
