A refreshing and nutritious Kiwi Smoothie with Pineapple that combines the natural sweetness of ripe kiwis and pineapple with lightly steamed baby spinach, creamy lactose-free yogurt, and a hint of fresh ginger. This quick and easy smoothie is blended to a creamy consistency, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • 1–2 ripe kiwis, peeled
  • 2/3 to 3/4 cup pineapple (fresh or frozen)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup baby spinach, lightly steamed

Dairy & Alternatives

  • 1/4 cup lactose-free Greek yogurt or coconut milk yogurt
  • 1 to 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk

Flavorings & Supplements

  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon dried), to taste
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional), to taste
  • 1 scoop collagen peptides
  • Optional: a few mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Steam Spinach: Lightly steam the baby spinach for 1–2 minutes until wilted but still vibrant green. Then, set aside to cool slightly to avoid heating the other ingredients.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the peeled kiwis, pineapple, steamed spinach, lactose-free Greek or coconut milk yogurt, fresh grated ginger, unsweetened almond milk, optional maple syrup, and collagen peptides to a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are fully combined.
  4. Adjust Flavor and Consistency: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk to reach your preferred consistency.
  5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve chilled. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if using, for an extra layer of freshness and aroma.

Notes

  • Steaming the spinach lightly enhances nutrient absorption and reduces bitterness.
  • You can use fresh or frozen pineapple depending on availability.
  • Maple syrup is optional; omit it for a naturally sweeter smoothie if using very ripe fruit.
  • Choose lactose-free or coconut yogurt to keep this smoothie dairy-friendly.
  • Adding collagen peptides boosts protein content and supports skin and joint health.
