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.

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a blender cup and work it for about 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. 

Notes

  • 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.
