Green Machine Smoothie

This smoothie is one of my favorites because it's a powerhouse of nutrients and anti-inflammatory ingredients, plus it has a unique sweet & spicy flavor.. Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelian which helps fight inflammation and aids in digestion, and ginger is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant food source. Here's what you need:

Ingredients:
-1 cup frozen pineapple
-1 small/medium organic banana
-2 cups of organic spinach (or kale, or both)
-hunk of fresh ginger (to taste)
-water to desired consistency

Directions:

1. Combine pineapple, banana, spinach, and ginger together in a blender, NutriBullet, Ninja, etc.
2. Blend until very smooth, and enjoy!

Serves 1

Tips:
-Using frozen pineapple instead of ice creates a very smooth texture, however, if you only have fresh pineapple, just add 1 cup of ice to this recipe.
-You can store and freeze all the ingredients together ahead of time to have a quick and easy, "just add water," meal or snack for on-the-go.
