If you love the combination of pineapple and coconut (hello Pina Coladas!), you’re going to love this healthy Pineapple Coconut Green Smoothie. It’s thick, creamy, and delicious – and it will keep you full for hours.
Does the thought of adding avocado, frozen cauliflower rice, or spinach to your smoothies make you cringe? Trust me; I get it! I thought these ingredients would make my smoothies taste awful, but to my surprise, you can’t taste them at all! The pineapple and protein powder mask the taste of these particular vegetables. Give them a try; I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Stick to the recipe or make substitutes to best suit your taste preferences and nutrition needs. I provide a list of Simple Swaps at the end of the recipe. Experiment to see what you like best!
