Spinalicious Smoothie!

Serves: 1
1 cup spinach, packed
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup pineapple chunks

Blend the ingredients in a blender until smooth! I prefer making this with the almond milk for a creamier smoothie. However, you can use pineapple juice for a thinner, sweeter smoothie, although it is sweet enough!
