Need a little smoothie refresher? My Smoothies 101 blog can help.
Key points for me when making a smoothie is to use frozen ingredients whenever possible. It adds that thick chill and avoids using ice, which will ultimately separate and water down a smoothie.
You gotta drink it so make this Pineapple Mint Smoothie to your liking! You might need more pineapple, mint or lime- that’s cool. Blend, taste, adjust.
Then snap a photo and tag me @happyeatshealthy on IG
Happy drinking,

Pineapple Mint Smoothie
handful or two of greens (mix this up, spinach, bok choy, even romaine!)
~1 cup coconut water
1/4 of a pineapple, peeled (ideally frozen)
1/4 of a zucchini (can also try cucumber)
2 tbls ripe avocado
juice of 1/2 lime
Handful of mint leaves, pulled from stem
2 tbls collagen powder
Optional: ice (if your fruit isn’t frozen)
Place the coconut water and greens in the blender, blend until the greens are well pulverized. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Enjoy your Pineapple Mint Smoothie immediately or store in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
NOTE: add more coconut water as need to achieve desired conistency. Add ice if the pineapple isn’t frozen.
