Scale
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1/2 green apple, cored
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Place the almond milk and spinach into your blender first. Blend until the spinach is completely smooth.
Add the frozen pineapple, green apple, chia seeds, ginger, and protein powder to the blender.
Add the ice cubes last.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.

For a lower sugar green smoothie, substitute the pineapple with 1/2 cup of cucumber.
If you prefer a thicker texture, reduce the almond milk by 1/4 cup.
This recipe works well as a quick healthy morning smoothie or a light meal replacement for weight loss.
