25 g
baby spinach
200 g
pineapple peeled and diced
5 oz
water
1 tsp
agave syrup to taste (optional)
Garnish: Pineapple wedge · Ice: Served up, no ice
Spinach Pineapple Smoothie
Juicy and tropical, sweet and tangy pineapple with a light green freshness.
Pineapple and spinach are one of the simplest green smoothie pairings. The fruit's sweetness and acidity completely cover the mild taste of baby spinach, so the drink tastes mostly of pineapple. Pineapple contains vitamin C and the enzyme bromelain, which is why fresh pineapple can make the tongue tingle slightly. Without banana or avocado the texture is light and juicy rather than creamy. It works well as a morning refresher or on a hot afternoon.
Yes, a small frozen portion of about 25 g works well.
Fresh pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that can cause a slight tingling; canned pineapple does not.
