Spinach, Sprouts, and Pineapple Smoothie
This green delight offers ultimate refreshment, and the coconut water is immensely hydrating. It’s great over a couple of pieces of ice if the day is very warm. Bottoms up!
Makes about two 12-ounce servings
- 1 heaping cup pineapple chunks (preferably fresh)
- 1 or 2 handfuls clean baby spinach
- Handful of green sprouts (such as sweet pea shoots)
- 12-ounce can or bottle young coconut water
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds, optional (but highly recommended!)
Combine all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and process until completely smooth. Serve at once.

What I want to know is, what qualifies as a “high power blender?” Is it just a Vita Mix or do others? I need something that will really pulverize kale, not merely grind it up small. Thanks!
Mo, I think Vita-Mix is the machine of choice for green smoothie enthusiasts and raw-foodies; that’s what I have. I have heard good things about Blendtec as well but don’t personally know anyone who has used it.
Thanks, Nava. I just have to come up with a way to justify another kitchen appliance!
Vita-Mix is pricey, no doubt, but I just love it. It’s been on my counter for 3 years and rarely does a day go by when I don’t use it!
What machine is good for juicing wheatgrass?
Temmie, I’m afraid I’m no expert at all on juicers. Maybe another reader will respond.
Green Star Juicer by Tribest is for Wheatgrass. Its the only one that I know of that extracts the rough fiber from the wheatgrass. That’s the one we use.
Christine, thanks so much for your input on a juicer that’s good for wheatgrass.
