My Best Green Smoothie

If you’re a regular visitor at Jessica in the Kitchen, you know my focus 24/7, 365 days of the year is on great food so there’ll be lots of options throughout the entire year!

Since we’re in January, although it’s a little cliche, I wanted to start off the new year with one of my favourite smoothies and favourite ways to kick your body into gear with this tropical green smoothie!

Notes on the Ingredients

With only 4 ingredients (and easy ones to find, at that), this smoothie can be whipped up at pretty much any time of the year.

  • Pineapples – adds body, fibre and a burst of freshness to the smoothie. I recommend using fresh pineapples over canned. You could also use frozen pineapples.
  • Fresh Spinach – This may be swapped with kale if desired, but spinach is my #1 choice for this because of how well it blends together. It also gives it that beautiful green colour.
  • Chopped Bananas – Bananas in this smoothie help to keep you full and add a natural sweetness, so you don’t need to add any sugar to this smoothie.
  • Fresh Orange Juice – This also adds a touch of sweetness to the smoothie. I recommend choosing oranges that are more on the sweet side than tart. You can choose to juice them freshly or buy orange juice.

How to Make a Green Smoothie – Step by Step

Blend it all together until smooth, pausing to scrape down sides if needed. Done! I recommend drinking this immediately. However, this will last in your fridge for a maximum of two days.

Expert Tips & Serving Suggestions

As you can see this smoothie is already quite easy to make. Here are some tips to make it even easier!

  • I highly recommend using fresh or frozen versions of these fruits over canned versions. It’ll yield the best taste.
  • If you want to meal prep this, you can freeze all of the ingredients (except the orange juice) and store them in a freezer-safe zipped bag.
  • Pre-portion each smoothie in its own reusable container so all you have to do is pour all ingredients in the blender and turn it on.
  • I used spinach for mine, but you could easily substitute kale if you want. I would recommend blanching the kale for one minute first to its easier to digest and blend in the smoothie.
  • If you’ve just finished a killer workout you can also add a scoop of protein powder. This will keep you full for longer.
  • You can customise these to your liking. Feel free to add in chia seeds, flax seeds, more fruit, coconut shreds, berries, or anything else to your liking!
