Pineapple-Spinach-Flax smoothie
We’re big fans of smoothies in our home, and I love that it is an easy way to get TB to eat some spinach without consuming a salad, plus we usually get some flaxseed in there. Flaxseed is a great source of fiber, as well as omega 3 fatty acids. Also, while we had slipped some in giving TB more dairy once we moved east until we suspected it was causing him some problems, we are not big fans of dairy consumption in our home, and spinach allows us to get him a bunch of healthy vitamins and minerals. Plus, it’s good for Kevin and me too!
The Players
3 cups fresh pineapple cut in to large chunks
2 cups baby spinach
3 tablespoons ground flax seed
Handful of ice
The Fun
1. Place items in blender in order listed. Because the pineapple is fresh, no additional liquid should be needed.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Pour.
4. Drink.
By the way, if you are wondering where the glass straws in all of the smoothie photos came from, they are from Glass Dharma.
I should mention– we stored the extra overnight in the refrigerator and drank some for breakfast the next day. It was as delicious as day one!
I love those straws.
And I am loving my green smoothies every morning! Have you tried them with kale? Kale and strawberries are amaaaazing together!
I love smoothies thanks to you! I wonder if I can hunt down some flax seed here although it looks like after tonight’s loss our season is going to be over before we know it. Oh well, going home early is not always a bad thing!
