Tropical Green Smoothie

Jump to Recipe

This is hands-down my all-time favorite smoothie. It’s fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor—and it’s inspired by the “Ginger Greens” smoothie from E+Rose, one of my favorite local wellness cafés in Nashville, TN.

Whether you’re starting your day, refueling after a workout, or just need something refreshing, this smoothie hits all the right notes: tangy pineapple juice, tropical fruit, fresh greens, and the zing of ginger and mint. It’s as energizing as it is delicious!

Ginger Tip

If your blender is powerful enough, you can throw in a small piece of ginger with the skin on—easy and efficient! But what I usually do is keep my fresh ginger in the freezer and then grate it with a microplane. It keeps well in the freezer for up to 6 months, and grating it while frozen makes it super easy to use in smoothies, dressings, or teas.

Blender Talk

I use a Vitamix for this recipe. I hesitated for a while before getting one, but now I totally get the hype. It blends everything so smoothly—no chunks, no fuss. It’s been a game changer for smoothies, sauces, soups—you name it.
