Tropical Popeye

One of my favorite spinach smoothies is pretty basic with a twist:
Popeye
2 C Spinach
1 Chilled Apple, chopped with skin
1/2-1 C Water or fresh apple juice
1 Tbs Honey
1 Handful Fresh Mint
(I always add in supplements, i.e. chia..)

This refreshing and delicious green smoothie is perfect post run or as a on the go meal. Apple and Spinach are pretty good friends. But Kale would be a tasty replacement. Pear definitely would be yummy in this too.

Today I needed and on the go, out the door, 5 minute meal and had some fresh pineapple to use up. Here is the Tropical Popeye:
2 C Spinach
1 Chilled Apple chopped with skin
1/2 C Fresh Pineapple
1/2-1 C Water or fresh apple juice
1 Tbs Honey
1 Handful Fresh Mint

Easy! And most certainly has been done before. The pineapple, mint and honey combo I wasn't so sure about, but the flavors complemented each other nicely. Tangy, sweet and minty.. perfect sunny day smoothie!
