Pineapple and coconut water give this smoothie a clear tropical taste, and the banana makes it smooth. The spinach is there for colour; you will hardly notice it.

Light, fruity and tropical with a mild green note and a gentle sweetness.
A light green smoothie that tastes more of the tropics than of leaves. Pineapple provides acidity and aroma, banana adds sweetness and body, and baby spinach turns the colour a fresh green. Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which is why the drink can taste slightly tingly if it stands too long.
Coconut water keeps the glass light, so it suits a warm morning or the time after exercise. Drink it within half an hour for the best flavour.
Fresh pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that can cause a slight tingling; drink it fresh.
Yes, it works well and chills the smoothie.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
