- 1 tablespoon chia seeds Optional for added fiber

Blending
- In your blender, add the spinach first, followed by the banana, pineapple chunks, and avocado.

- If you’re adding chia seeds for an extra boost of fiber and healthy fats, toss them in now.
- If you’re looking for a touch of sweetness, add the honey to the mix as well.
- Secure the blender lid and start blending on high speed for about 30-45 seconds or until everything is smooth and creamy.
- If your smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again.
- For a refreshing chilled drink, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again to reach your desired temperature.
Serving
- Take a moment to taste your smoothie. If you feel it needs a bit more sweetness, stir in additional honey.
- Pour your lovely green creation into a tall glass and enjoy right away for the best taste and nutritional benefits.
Notes
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. If frozen, it can last up to 3 months, but thaw before drinking.
