My nutrient-packed Hydrating Green Smoothie has a mild, sweet flavor with a tropical flair. It's a great way to boost your fruit and veggie intake. If you're new to green smoothies, this is a great one to try!

Smoothies are a great way to incorporate essential vitamins and minerals, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats into your diet. Whether you're looking for a filling snack, a quick breakfast or a healthy meal on the go, there's a smoothie for you!

All you need is a high speed blender and you're ready to go. For more information on creating the perfect smoothie, check out my Quick Guide to Making Healthy Smoothies.

Ingredients

This green smoothie is packed with nutritious fruits and veggies. Here's what you need:

Baby spinach- packed with a wide array of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytonutrients that are beneficial for our health
Pineapple- adds sweetness and a boost of vitamin C
Banana- add sweetness and creaminess. To keep the smoothie extra cold, freeze the banana ahead of time.
Milk- I like to use coconut almond milk blend because it keeps the smoothie light and adds a tropical flavor. When combined with the pineapple, it's reminiscent of a piña colada.

How To Make This Hydrating Green Smoothie

Simply place the milk in a high speed blender and add the baby spinach, pineapple, banana, and some ice. Then blend away!

Take this smoothie on the go for a quick and healthy snack or drink it to hydrate and replenish after a work out. If you want to enjoy it as a meal replacement, add some protein and healthy fat such as protein powder, almond butter, chia seeds and/or oats.

It's even kid-approved. Both of my kids love it!
