Summer is winding down and kids are back in school but it’s still too hot to cook – so sometimes a good old frosty protein smoothie does the trick.  I make this for my kids or myself after a tough workout.  Pineapple has anti inflammatory properties and is loaded with immune boosting vitamins.  A dose of superfood chia pulls it all together as a nutrition powerhouse.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh pineapple
• 2 handfuls spinach (I freeze mine)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds (ground)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder of choice
• 4-5 ice cubes

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high until smooth. Add water to adjust consistency.
