This is one of the most popular smoothies in our house that I make on a weekly basis. It includes just a few basic ingredients; banana, spinach, pineapple, kiwi, chia seeds, and milk of your choice. You can also play around with flavors and add your favorite fruits and veggies or anything you have in your refrigerator.

If you like to start your day with smoothie, you should also check my Banana Oatmeal Smoothie.

How to make Green Smoothie

There is nothing easier than making a smoothie. Just put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth (Photos 1-6).

To make it a bit easier, when you peel the banana, break it into smaller pieces. The same with a kiwi, peel and chop in 4-6 pieces. I also like to rinse spinach before adding it to the blender.

Tips to Store and Make ahead

  1. You also can prep the ingredients (except milk) and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. I like to make a few batches, portion and put them in a zip-lock bags. When ready to use, just take out a needed portion, put in the blender, add milk, and blend.
  2. I don’t recommend to put a mixed smoothie in the fridge.

Tips for best results

  1. For this recipe I like to use ripe or overripe bananas (like you would use them to make Banana Muffins). They will give you a lot of sweetness.
  2. If you use frozen spinach and frozen bananas, you might need more milk, depending on your desired consistency.

Options and Substitutions

Feel free to add other ingredients you have in the fridge, like:

  • Celery
  • Kale
  • Apple
  • Strawberry or other berries
  • Ground flax seeds

    I must tried making this smoothie I had everything except the kiwi. I’m allergic to fresh kiwi but I’ll have this one for breakfast in the morning.

    This smooth sounds delicious! I did not know that background about chia seeds meaning strength but that is really cool to know! I’m going to have to try this this week before my workout!

    I love spinach smoothies, but I’ve never tried adding pineapple before. We always have lots of fresh pineapple on hand (it’s my toddler’s favorite fruit) so I can’t wait to give this a try tomorrow morning!

    Kiwi is such a fun addition here. I love chia seeds but tend to sprinkle them on things like parfaits or cottage cheese, but putting them into smoothies is a great way to use them!

    I’m a fan of smoothies almost any time of day, and it’s great to switch up my “regulars.” I try to eat a lot of spinach (for a number of reasons), so this recipe looks particularly appealing! Pinning!

    I have never used kiwi in my smoothies or pineapple for that matter. I get stuck on just using berries and bananas! Your green smoothie looks fabulous and delicious and I can’t wait to try it!!

    Smoothies are such a great lunch for me. I always have spinach in the fridge, and including it in smoothies is so nutritional. Love the colour….looks like spring.
