  • 2 cups spinach leaves fresh
  • 1 cup pineapple diced
  • 1/2 medium cucumber chopped
  • 1/2 inch fresh ginger peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 cup brewed green tea cooled
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt low-fat

  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Brew 1 cup of green tea and let it cool completely ahead of time.
  2. Rinse spinach, pineapple, and cucumber. Peel and slice the ginger.
  3. Add spinach, pineapple, cucumber, ginger, lemon juice, cooled green tea, and Greek yogurt to the blender.
  4. Sprinkle in cayenne pepper and add chia seeds for extra fiber.
  5. Toss in the ice cubes.
  6. Blend on high until smooth, about 1 minute. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little extra green tea or water until you reach the desired consistency.
  7. Taste and adjust the lemon juice or ginger if you want more tang or zing.

Notes

You can swap pineapple for apple or mango if desired.
For a vegan version, use a plant-based yogurt.
The cayenne pepper helps rev up metabolism, but adjust to taste.
This smoothie is best served fresh, but it can be kept in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Stir well before drinking.
