Pineapple Arugula Smoothie
A bright arugula smoothie with spinach, pineapple, frozen grapes, banana, green apple, and protein powder. The fruit balances the peppery greens for a cold, smooth drink that does not taste grassy.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups water or fruit juice
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup green grapes frozen
- ½ green apple
- ½ banana frozen
- 1 scoop protein powder
Instructions
- Place water, arugula, and spinach into a blender and process until smooth.
- Stop the blender and add the rest of the ingredients. Process on low while increasing the speed gradually to high. Blend for 30 seconds. Add additional water if thicker than desired.
Notes
Use frozen fruit for a thick, creamy smoothie without adding ice.
Adjust the consistency by blending in cold water, a tablespoon or two at a time, until it reaches your preferred thickness.
Baby arugula has a milder flavor and blends more smoothly than mature arugula.
