Ingredients

1/2 cup lite unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup packed spinach (35 grams)
1/2 heaping cup frozen pineapple (70 grams)
1/2 small green apple, roughly chopped (100 grams)
1/2 small avocado (50 grams)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2-1 inch fresh ginger (depending on taste)
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (37 grams - about 1/3 cup)
pinch of sea salt (optional)
1-2 cups ice

Instructions

Blend smoothie. Add all the ingredients in the order listed to a high-powered blender (I used my Vitamix) and blend until smooth and creamy.
Enjoy! Drink or top with some toppings and enjoy!

Notes

This smoothie is fairly thick. I absolutely love my smoothies this way so I can add some toppings, but if you don’t feel free to add some more liquid to thin it out.
