Healthy Pineapple Banana Smoothie

What's up rock stars? It's Jen Hansard from Simple Green Smoothies and today we are going to make a spinach pineapple smoothie also known as pineapple dream in our house. This is just another tasty green smoothie recipe that we love to make and it's also part of one of our 10-day challenges. So today I want to show you how to make it. So first thing we're going to do is add one cup of spinach to the blender. All right and then we're going to add one cup of almond milk. And this glass of almond milk right here has four grams of protein. So you are boosting your smoothie quickly with protein by adding almond milk to it. Depending on what kind of blender you have you can put the lid on and blend right now. If you have a low-powered one this will really help you break up those leafy chunks. If you have a high-powered blender like a Vitamix Blendtec or even a Ninja you won't need to do that. So we're going to keep on moving on. So the next step is we're going to add in pineapple. I'm doing frozen pineapple because I don't have to cut it and it's frozen already makes the smoothie cold and it's quick. And then I just added half a cup of frozen cherries for the exact same reason. Now we're going to add a banana and you may be thinking why would I have a nasty banana on this video but I want to show you that the darker the browner they are the sweeter they are and the creamier your smoothie will be. So this banana looks pretty good to me for a smoothie. So I'm going to take half of it and add it to that. All right so we have all of our ingredients in the blender. I am using the Vitamix 7500 series blender. It's refurbished which means someone returned it for some reason which gave me a great deal on it. I saved $200 just by doing that. So if you're at all interested in the show notes below I can show you how to get that same kind of deal. Let's see it in action. It's ready to go. No leafy chunks and yeah it kind of looks more like a brown smoothie and that's because of the cherries that we used in it but that's okay because the greens are in there all the plants all the goodness is right here coming alive as we drink it in our bodies. Okay so I'm gonna put it in my to-go cup because I have to run errands today and I want to show you how you can still be healthy on the go. Just have some sort of lid with the straw so when you're driving you can easily pull it out and sip and enjoy that pineapple spinach goodness. So good.
