Pineapple Spinach Yogurt Protein Smoothie.
Sneaking vegetables into your kids has never been so easy! I say this over and over again but your kids will not detect the spinach as the other flavors over-power it and make it virtually undetectable. Plus, if you are trying to add more leafy greens to your diet, this is yet another fun way to do it.
Ingredients:
1 medium sized pineapple, outer skin removed and cored, cut into chunks
1 apple, skin on but cored
1 large handful of baby spinach leaves, washed (I used organic) – you can sub out kale for this to removing the hard stems and just use the leaves
1 scoop of whey protein powder, I used Cabot’s protein powder
1/2 cup of Greek yogurt (I used Chobani vanilla)
12 ice cubes
1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk (you can use whatever milk or juice you have on hand)
Directions:
Place all of the ingredients into your Vitamix or blender and blend until creamy smooth. Pour into glasses and enjoy! This made 4 servings for me. Adjust the milk amount to your desired consistency. Some people prefer thick while others like it a bit more like juice.

Sounds delicious! Thanks for the recipe. Gonna take a look at tha green oatmeal smoothie also. I hadn’t thought of putting oatmeal in a smoothie until just recently. I’m getting a little bored with the straight oatmeal in the a.m!
Great way to get those oats in your body! I now swear by them as they have lowered my cholesterol a ton by eating them every day 🙂 oxo
I MUST try this with my kids. I’m not sure why I keep waiting… but I’m betting the apple + pineapple will be the right combo for my little guys 🙂
Yes you do! Hey a special package is on its way to you too! Let me know when you get it. oxo
