Calling all pineapple lovers!
This green pineapple smoothie is a refreshing blend of pineapple, power greens, and coconut milk for a vegan, energy boosting smoothie that even my daughter, Shiva, loves. Sip on this smoothie for a quick, healthy breakfast or for a mid-day snack when you’re looking for a pick-me-up.
P.S. smoothies are a great way to sneak in those power greens for the little ones.
Spinach: Contains high levels of folate and folic acid, great for renewing skin and for all the pregnant mamas!

Coconut milk: Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and vitamin E, helping maintain skin elasticity and smoothing away fine lines.
