Healthy High-Protein Pineapple Coconut Green Smoothie - featured image

A quick and easy high-protein smoothie combining fresh pineapple, spinach, coconut milk, and protein powder for a nutritious and delicious tropical drink perfect for weight loss and energy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped
  • 1 cup baby spinach, packed
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 45 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop 1 cup of fresh pineapple into small chunks. Rinse and pat dry 1 cup of baby spinach.
  2. Place pineapple, baby spinach, 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice into your blender. Add 4-5 ice cubes if desired.
  3. Start blending on low speed to break up larger chunks, then increase to high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no visible spinach leaves or pineapple chunks.
  4. Taste the smoothie. If too thick, add a splash more coconut milk or water and blend again. Add honey or maple syrup if you want it sweeter, though pineapple usually provides enough sweetness.
  5. Pour into your favorite glass or reusable smoothie cup and serve immediately.

Notes

Use almond or oat milk as a substitute for coconut milk for a milder flavor. Frozen pineapple can be used but may require extra liquid. For a thicker smoothie, add chia seeds or rolled oats and blend longer. Prep ingredients the night before to save time. Clean blender immediately after use to prevent residue buildup.
