What you need: 1 cup Frozen pineapple chunks, 1 small Frozen banana, 2 cups Fresh spinach, 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder, 0.75 cup Coconut water, 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk, 1 tsp Fresh lime juice, 1 small piece Fresh ginger.

How it comes together: Add coconut water and almond milk to the blender first. Liquid before greens makes the blade work better. Add spinach and blend for 20 seconds to liquefy it before anything else. Add pineapple, banana, protein powder, lime juice, and ginger if using. Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until completely smooth.
