Green Smoothie Meal Prep (Printable)

A nutrient-rich green blend of pineapple, spinach, and chia seeds, perfect for a quick healthy boost.

# What You Need:

→ Fruits

01 - 2 cups fresh pineapple, chopped
02 - 2 medium bananas, peeled and sliced
03 - 1 medium Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped

→ Greens

04 - 4 cups fresh spinach, washed and stems removed

→ Liquids

05 - 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
06 - 1 cup cold water

→ Protein & Fiber

07 - 4 tablespoons chia seeds

→ Optional Add-ins

08 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
09 - 1 teaspoon grated ginger
10 - 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup

# How To Make It:

01 - Divide spinach, pineapple, banana, and apple evenly among 4 large mason jars or airtight containers, distributing each ingredient to ensure even distribution.
02 - Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds to each jar for added fiber and protein.
03 - If desired, add ½ tablespoon lime juice, ¼ teaspoon grated ginger, and ½ teaspoon honey or agave syrup to each jar.
04 - Seal jars tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 days before consumption.
05 - When ready to serve, pour contents of one jar into a blender and add ½ cup almond milk and ¼ cup water.
06 - Blend until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, gradually add additional water or almond milk until reaching preferred consistency.
07 - Pour into a glass and consume immediately while fresh.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Four breakfasts made in one 15-minute session means you're actually going to eat well instead of grabbing something regrettable on a rushed morning.
  • The combination of tropical pineapple with earthy spinach tastes indulgent, not like you're being virtuous.
  • Chia seeds give you sustained energy without that jittery coffee crash, plus they add an interesting texture.
02 -
  • Don't skip washing your spinach thoroughly or you'll crunch on sand at the worst moments—I learned this the embarrassing way.
  • The chia seeds need liquid to work their magic, so always add your almond milk and water when blending, or the texture turns gritty instead of creamy.
03 -
  • Freeze your banana slices for an hour or two before jarring them up if you like your smoothie extra cold and thick without watering it down with ice.
  • Store your jars in a clear container at eye level in your fridge so you actually see them and remember to drink them before they go past their prime.
