Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh spinach (packed)

1/2 ripe banana

1/2 avocado

1/2 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon almond butter (optional)

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)

Instructions
 

Begin by washing the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.

    In a blender, add the packed spinach, ripe banana, avocado, and diced cucumber.

      Pour in the almond milk, followed by the pineapple chunks and chia seeds.

        If you’re adding almond butter for an extra boost of creaminess and flavor, include it now.

          If you prefer your smoothie a bit sweeter, add honey or maple syrup to taste.

            Blend the ingredients on high until smooth and creamy. If you like a colder or thicker consistency, add a few ice cubes and blend again until desired texture is achieved.

              Once blended to your liking, taste your smoothie. Adjust sweetness or thickness, adding more almond milk or sweetener if necessary.

                Pour the smoothie into a glass or a to-go cup, and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
