Pineapple is sweet and tangy enough to hide a good handful of spinach completely. A spoon of coconut oil adds a light coconut aroma and a rounder feel.

Fresh and tropical, with juicy pineapple, a mild green note and a hint of coconut.
This is a green smoothie that tastes mostly of fruit. Pineapple provides sweetness, acidity and vitamin C, while baby spinach brings colour, folate and vitamin K with hardly any flavour of its own. Coconut oil contributes a gentle coconut note and makes the texture a little silkier.
The smoothie works well in the morning or after sport. Coconut oil solidifies when cold, so melt it and blend it with the pineapple first before adding cold water.
Hardly. The pineapple dominates and the spinach mostly adds colour.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes. The smoothie becomes lighter, and you can add coconut flavour with coconut water instead.
