This green smoothie is packed with digestion-enhancing and immune-boosting foods like pineapple, parsley, ginger, and avocado. Don't worry though; its sweet flavor makes it friendly for green smoothie newbies! If you are adverse to the spiciness of ginger, I recommend starting with half the amount and adding to taste from there. This smoothie also keeps well overnight. I will often make a double batch, save leftovers in a small mason jar in the fridge overnight, and enjoy it the next morning Ingredients: 1 heaping cup frozen pineapple chunks 1/2 large frozen banana 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup coconut water 1/4 cup packed fresh parsley leaves 2 tablespoons avocado 1 teaspoon packed fresh grated ginger 1/4 teaspoon probiotic powder, optional lemon or lime slice, for garnish Directions: Add all ingredients into a blender and blend on the highest speed until super smooth. Tips: Feel free to add a handful of baby spinach to boost the nutrient power even more. Fresh mint also gives this smoothie a nice digestion boost (not to mention a delicious minty flavor).
