Lucky Green St. Paddy’s Day Smoothie

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with this creamy, refreshing green smoothie — completely dairy-free! This version combines the natural sweetness of banana and pineapple with nutrient-packed spinach and a hint of mint for a healthy take on a shamrock shake. Coconut yogurt and almond milk create a rich, creamy texture without any dairy.

• 1 frozen banana
• 1 cup fresh spinach (or kale for a deeper green)
• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup coconut yogurt (or any dairy-free yogurt of choice)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave (optional, for sweetness)
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (or a few fresh mint leaves)
• Vanilla protein powder of choice
• Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)

Add all ingredients to a blender.  Blend on high until smooth and creamy (about 1–2 minutes). Taste and adjust sweetness or mintiness if needed. Pour into glasses and garnish with a sprig of mint or a sprinkle of hemp seeds. Enjoy immediately!

Sip, smile, and feel the luck! 🍀
