Vitamix Green Smoothie: Go Green

This is a delicious green smoothie made in the Vitamix blender. It’s creamy and rich and tastes delicious as an appetizer to serve to guests instead of a green salad. The combination of frozen pineapple and cucumber combined with fresh avocado and spinach makes this smoothie thick and creamy that can be eaten with a spoon.
If you want to drink this as a smoothie, add more almond milk or water to make it slightly thinner.
Green Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 cups Spinach (baby spinach is more tender, that's what I use)
- 1/2 ripe avacado
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
- 1/4 cup frozen cucumber
- 1/4 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the Vitamix container. Select Variable 1 and turn on machine, slowly increase to its highest speed (variable 10) and blend for 45 seconds.
- Pour into glasses and enjoy, or pour into appertizer bowls and serve. You can also store in a bottle with a lid for up to 3 days and enjoy when you want. However, smoothies taste best when consumed fresh. The colour of your smoothie will change and may taste different when stored. Nevertless it is still good to consume and won't go bad if consumed within 3 days.
