Ingredients

• Pineapple: I used frozen pineapple chunks for this recipe. The frozen fruit will give the best creamy consistency to the smoothie, and you will avoid adding ice.
• Apple: I used a mix of Golden Delicious apples and Honey Crisp apples. You can substitute them with apples of your choice, but be aware that the taste might differ.
• Spinach: I used fresh spinach leaves for this recipe. It’s one of my favorite leafy greens for smoothies. To learn more, read the following article about spinach’s health benefits.
• Banana: I used ripe bananas to add the natural sweetener and the smooth consistency.
• Matcha powder: This is the perfect ingredient for this green smoothie. We need just a little bit. Matcha powder is rich in antioxidants, boosts metabolic rate and burn calories, aids in detoxification, stabilizes blood sugar, etc.
• Liquid: We need a little bit of water to help blend all ingredients. This smoothie will have a medium consistency, so feel free to add more or less liquid if preferred.

Expert Tips and Tricks

• Use frozen fruit: Use at least one frozen fruit in your smoothie for the creamiest smoothie. This will also help to avoid adding ice to your smoothie.
• Ditch the ice: Ice will water down the smoothie and won’t have that smooth consistency.

How to Meal Prep this Smoothie

Smoothies generally don’t require a long prep time, but if you want to cut down the prep time, even more, you can always meal prep all ingredients, freeze them and then throw them in a blender.

Prepare all ingredients as explained in recipe instructions, minus the liquid, add them to the zip lock bag and throw them into the freezer. Then, when you want to have a smoothie, add all ingredients to a blender and add liquid. You may need to add more water or other liquid because you will have all frozen ingredients.

Storage

I recommend drinking this smoothie as soon as you make it. The smoothie will change its texture and flavor if you store it in the fridge.
