Ingredients
| 1 | frozen banana | |
| 2 cups | 480 ml | frozen pineapple |
| 2 cups | 480 ml | fresh baby spinach |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | spirulina powder |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | almond milk |
| 5 oz | 140 g | plain Greek yogurt |
| 2 scoops | collagen or protein powder | |
| 1 tbsp | 15 ml | coconut oil |
| 2 tbsp | 30 ml | honey or agave |
| 1/2 | avocado |
Instructions

Notes:
- To make this dairy-free/vegan increase avocado to a full one and omit the yogurt and choose agave over honey.
- Any milk can be used in this recipe.
- Spirulina gives this drink its intense green color while also providing tons of health benefits. It smells like seaweed but you can't taste it in the drink; the drink flavor is actually quite fruity.
- This smoothie is sweet and fruity, not earthy.
- Pop chopped banana and pineapple in the freezer about 1 to 2 hours before you need to use it.
