Add chia seeds or a scoop of plant-based protein for a post-workout boost.

FAQ:
Can I use canned pineapple instead of frozen?
Yes, but frozen pineapple helps create a thick, chilled texture. If using canned, add a few ice cubes to maintain consistency.
Is this smoothie suitable for kids?
Absolutely. The natural sweetness of the banana and pineapple masks the greens, making it a great way to sneak in veggies.
Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
It’s best fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir before serving.
