Green Smoothie

Serves 2 to 4

I’m a big fan of greens in my smoothies, because let’s be real: As much as I love kale salad, chomping through one can occasionally make you feel like a cow. Here, three types of greens are pureed with avocado for creaminess and enough sweet-tart pineapple and grapes to make you forget you’re basically drinking salad.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup packed stemmed hearty greens, such as kale, collards, or Swiss chard

2 cups packed mature spinach, stem bottoms trimmed

1/2 small bunch parsley

1 cup coconut water

1 large ripe Hass avocado, pitted

2 cups green grapes, frozen

1 cup pineapple chunks (about 1 inch)

Large handful mint leaves Juice of 1 lime

3 cups ice cubes
