Instructions
Layer the Blender
Add the pineapple juice and Greek yogurt to the blender first. Layering liquids on the bottom helps the blender run smoothly and prevents the spinach from getting stuck.
Add the Spinach
Pack the fresh baby spinach on top of the liquid. Do not be shy with the amount as the fruit will completely mask the flavor and the spinach will blend down significantly.
Add Fruit and Blend
Add the frozen mango, frozen banana, and honey on top. Blend on high for 60 seconds until completely smooth with no visible green flecks remaining in the mixture.
Serve Immediately
Pour into fun cups or reusable pouches and serve right away. The bright green color can be a fun selling point so try calling it a superhero smoothie to get kids excited.
