The green smoothie that actually tastes good

My favorite healthy snack for those I'm-not-hungry-but-I-feel-like-eating-a-snack moments.
Prep Time10 minutes
Course: Breakfast, Drinks, Snack
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 glasses

Ingredients

  • 1 banana ripe
  • 30 g almond flour or almond meal, or cashews pieces
  • 200 g pineapple fresh or frozen
  • 1 apple green, gala, ambrosia.... or 1 pear (ripe)
  • 1 large handful of baby spinach (about 80g)
  • ¼ to ⅓ of a field cucumber
  • ½ avocado optional
  • 1 lime juice or 2-3 tbsp bottled lime juice

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients in a blender, with 250g water, and mix until smooth.
  • For a breakfast smoothie that will keep you full until lunch time, add a small handful of roasted cashews and 1/2 avocado.
    Or use cashew milk instead of water (which will also increase creaminess).

Notes

Copyright 2025 © Cooking Evolution
Adapt quantities to what you have on hands, but try to keep banana, pineapple, lime, spinach and cucumber. Without them, it won't taste the same! 
Remove apple for a less sweet smoothie. 
For a sweeter version, substitute a pear for the apple.
