Good Morning Green Smoothie
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups raw spinach, cleaned well
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp flax seed
- 1/2 cup almond milk or milk of choice
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen pineapple
Instructions
- Add 1.5 cups of fresh spinach
- Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- Add 1 tablespoon of flax seeds
- Add 1/2 cup of almond milk
- Add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen pineapple

- Drink right away, if not the smoothie will thicken a bit due to the chia seeds but can still be consumed. If you waited to drink it and it has thickened you can use a spoon!
