Green Machine Smoothie
This Green Machine Smoothie is a healthy snack disguised as a rejuvenating treat! It’s packed with fresh greens and fruit, a splash of coconut water, and lime juice to mask the “healthy” flavors. The result is a sweet, tart, and tangy smoothie with a tropical twist.

- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 whole green apple (granny smith), chunks
- 1/2 whole cucumber (about 3/4 cup), chunks
- 1 whole lime, juice
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, frozen
- 3/4 cup coconut water
- 1 handful mint leaves
- 2 scoops Vital Proteins Collagen Beauty Greens
- 1 handful ice cubes
- You can use fresh or frozen vegetables here. If you opt for mostly frozen fruits and vegetables, you won’t need as much ice (if any).
- If you end up with leftovers, I recommend freezing them in an ice cube tray. When you’re ready to serve, simply blend the frozen cubes until smooth.
- Add a pinch of salt to increase the electrolytes and make the sweet fruits taste pleasantly sweeter.
- In a rush? Pre-portion your ingredients in freezer bags and follow the 60/40 rule. Build your green smoothie with 60% fresh or frozen fruit and 40% fresh or frozen leafy greens or vegetables.
