Pineapple Kiwi Spinach Green Smoothie

This refreshing pineapple kiwi green smoothie is made with Honeycrisp apples, frozen bananas, frozen pineapple, fresh mint, baby spinach, kiwi, and dates. It's vegan, sweet, and creamy, and has a hidden serving of vegetables.

This smoothie tastes fantastic, and it can be prepared in 5 minutes. I love that this pineapple kiwi smoothie is packed full of fruits and spinach, making it easy for me to get my fruit and veggie servings in for the day.

Ingredient Notes

Frozen banana: I highly recommend using a frozen banana for this recipe. Frozen bananas make the smoothie creamy and cold. Any time my bananas are on the verge of going bad, I peel them, split them in half, and add them to a freezer-friendly storage bag in the freezer.

Medjool dates: I use dates in everything that needs to be sweetened and blended, like this homemade almond milk. The best dates for this smoothie are Medjool dates. Pit the dates before blending.

How To Make A Pineapple Kiwi Smoothie

Prepare the ingredients and add them to the blender.

Blend on high for about 30 seconds.

Tips and Tricks

• Use frozen banana and frozen pineapple. Instead of using ice, the frozen banana and pineapple make the smoothie cold and smoothie-like.
• Use pre-washed baby spinach leaves. Baby spinach leaves are tender and tasteless, and they blend well in a smoothie.
• Use a Vitamix blender. Vitamix blenders make excellent smoothies, so if you drink smoothies frequently, I highly recommend buying one.
• Easy toddler hack: Cut the end off a baby bottle. Pour this creamy green smoothie into a bottle. It makes it easy for a toddler to drink comfortably without making a mess.
