Green Monster Smootie

Green Monster Smoothie
adapted from a bunch of smoothie recipes from Pinterest
makes one 16 oz. smoothie

1 Banana
1 6 oz. Container Vanilla Yogurt
About 1/3 of a Can of Pineapple Chunks (about 10 chunks), Plus a Few Tablespoons of Juice
A Handful of Fresh Baby Spinach
1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds

Blend all ingredients together with a blender or with an immersion blender.  That's it!

I've been having at least four of these bad boys a week for lunch for the past month.  They are so delicious and ridiculously easy!  If you've never tried a spinach smoothie before, I know it can be a little scary.  But I promise that if you didn't know there was spinach in there you would never guess it!  I sometimes switch it up with a different flavor of yogurt or use a different canned fruit like peaches.  This recipe is merely a guideline, make it your own!
