Pineapple Mint Smoothie

This Pineapple Mint Smoothie is perfect for a quick and easy breakfast, a post workout snack, or as a cooling beverage beside the pool or at the beach on a hot summer’s day. The combination of pineapple and mint, along with some extra fruit and veg, make this smoothie sweet yet zesty, super refreshing and healthy.

This smoothie recipe includes kale, cucumber, pineapple, banana and mint, with added hemp seeds and chia seeds for some extra plant-based protein and healthy fats. Blend these ingredients up with some coconut water, which is a great source of several electrolytes including potassium, sodium and magnesium. These can help to regulate fluid balance, prevent dehydration, and ensure proper muscle function; perfect for replenishing your body after a workout. However, if coconut water is too sweet for you, using filtered water will also work. If you’re wanting to make your smoothie a bit more hearty, you could also add some vegan protein powder or use a plant-based milk (coconut milk works great and creates a smoothie that tastes a bit like a Piña colada).

If you don’t have a lot of time during the week, this smoothie is super simple to create for breakfast or a snack. However, if you are more into meal prepping on the weekend, you could make a batch and freeze it into smoothie cubes to make it even easier to whip up a quick smoothie during the week.
