Ingredients

100-125 g ready-to-use leaf spinach
1 small pineapple (approx. 400 g fruit flesh)
100-125 g Sunsweet prunes

Optional:
8-12 ice cubes
4 sprigs of fresh lemon balm

In addition:
4 large glasses
4 thick straws

Instructions

Wash the spinach and leave to drain in a sieve. Quarter the pineapples, remove the core and cut the fruit from the skin. Chop the pineapple into rough pieces.
Put the spinach, pineapple and Sunsweet prunes into a blender. Add 300 ml water and purée until smooth. If necessary, add more water until the smoothie has a creamy consistency.
If desired, put 2 to 3 ice cubes in 4 large glasses. Divide the smoothie into portions. Garnish with lemon balm. Place straws in the glasses and serve.

Variation: mango is a good alternative to pineapple.

Tip: a powerful blender makes the drink particularly creamy. A hand-held blender is not recommended. However, if only a hand-held blender is available, leave out the spinach if necessary.
