Smooth and thick with a gentle tropical sweetness; the spinach is barely noticeable.
A good first green smoothie for anyone who is unsure about leaves in a glass. Baby spinach has a very mild taste and disappears almost completely next to the buttery avocado. Pineapple brings sweetness and a little acidity, which keeps the drink lively.
Avocado is known for its monounsaturated fat and spinach supplies folate and vitamin K, so the glass feels substantial. It works well as a light breakfast or a mid-morning snack. Drink it fresh, as avocado darkens after a while.
Yes, every ingredient is plant based.
Yes, but remove thick stalks, as mature spinach tastes a bit stronger than baby spinach.
It is best within 30 minutes. Stored airtight in the fridge it keeps a few hours, but the colour dulls.
