Zucchini Pineapple Green Smoothie
A refreshing, low-calorie green smoothie that uses frozen zucchini for a creamy texture without the need for bananas. Naturally sweetened with tropical pineapple and balanced with fresh ginger, it's the perfect hidden-veggie breakfast.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups frozen zucchini sliced or cubed
- 2 fresh baby spinach packed tightly
- 1.5 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for fiber and healthy fats
- 0.5 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 tsp honey optional, to taste
Notes
For the best texture, use pre-frozen zucchini; it creates a milkshake-like consistency without changing the flavor. If you want to make this vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt. Store any leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though separation may occur; shake well before drinking.
