Instructions

1. 1
   Gather tools

   Gather the blender, measuring cup, knife, cutting board, and serving glasses, then weigh the greens, fruit, coconut water, and ice. · 3 min

   What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.

2. 2
   Prepare greens

   Rinse the kale and spinach well, remove any tough kale ribs, and shake off extra water so the smoothie stays bright and not diluted. · 2 min

   What to look for: Leaves look clean, vivid, and free of thick ribs.

3. 3
   Load blender

   Add coconut water to the blender first, then add kale, spinach, pineapple, banana, and ice so the blades can pull everything down smoothly. · 1 min

   What to look for: Liquid sits below the greens and fruit in the blender jar.

4. 4
   Blend smooth

   Blend on high speed until the greens disappear and the drink looks silky, pausing once to scrape down the sides if needed. · 2 min

   What to look for: The smoothie is uniformly green with no visible leafy pieces.

5. 5
   Check texture

   Taste the smoothie, then blend 10 seconds more if leafy bits remain or if the banana needs a little more time to become creamy. · 1 min

   What to look for: Texture is creamy, cold, and pourable.

6. 6
   Serve cold

   Pour the smoothie into 2 glasses and serve immediately while cold, bright green, and lightly frothy on top. · 1 min

   What to look for: Each glass is filled with a pale green, lightly foamy smoothie.
