You know those mornings when you’re rushing out the door but still want something that’s going to keep you feeling good all day? This smoothie is one of my go-tos when I need something quick but packed with nutrients. It’s got that perfect balance of sweet and creamy, thanks to the pineapple, avocado, and banana. Plus, with spinach and chia seeds in the mix, you’re sneaking in a ton of fiber without even noticing! And if you’re like me and love a little extra boost, adding some collagen powder takes it to the next level. It’s my little morning ritual that makes me feel like I’m doing something great for my body, no matter how busy the day gets.


What I love most about this smoothie is how customizable it is. Want more protein? Throw in some protein powder or swap the milk for a nut-free version. Need an extra dose of fiber? Flaxseeds or hemp seeds do the trick. It’s also a great way to use up any leftover fruit or greens you have on hand. The whole thing comes together in minutes and, trust me, it’s the perfect balance of refreshing and satisfying.

So, the next time you're looking for a quick, delicious, and nourishing to kickstart your day, give this breakfast idea a try.
