Hula Dancer Smoothie

Inspired by hula grass skirts!

Hula Dancer Smoothie Recipe
Makes 1 serving. 

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup almond milk

Instructions:
  1. Toss spinach and milk in the blender.
  2. Blend well until spinach is tiny green flecks.
  3. Add frozen pineapple.

Wash the spinach well before tossing it in the blender. I recommend blending it up with the milk first to minimize the flecks of spinach and produce a smoother drink, but you could add them all in at once if you don't mind it.
