Key Ingredients
This smoothie has no dairy in it whatsoever, but the avocado makes it super creamy and satisfying. The other ingredients add flavor and nutrition, without tasting overly “green” or healthy.
Cilantro in particular is renowned for its protective and detoxifying factors. See my related list of the best greens for smoothies. I also included dandelion greens.
Frozen fruit including banana and pineapple help add natural sweetness and thickness.
Add a scoop of paleo protein powder to make this a meal replacement.
Please see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.
Recipe Steps
Step One
Place your milk, banana, pineapple, avocado, spinach, cilantro, and ground cinnamon in the pitcher of a high speed blender. Add the protein powder, if you are using.
I highly recommend using a high speed blender like a Blendtec or a Vitamix.

Step one says milk but recipe says filtered water?
I want to try this. Would it work to blend and then freeze a few days worth to make ahead?
Hi Sue, apologies for the mistake. I’ve updated the recipe using plant milk. And, yes, you can make it ahead of time, freeze it, and then defrost 24 hours before serving.
I really love this combination. It seems like it would taste really green, but it actually tastes great!!!
