Instructions
- Gather ingredients: Collect all the ingredients including fresh spinach, avocado, frozen pineapple chunks, unsweetened coconut water, grated fresh ginger, and chia seeds if desired.
- Measure accurately: Ensure precise measurement of each ingredient for the best flavor balance and nutritional benefit.

Notes
- Use frozen pineapple to keep the smoothie cold and add thickness. Fresh pineapple can be used but may lead to a thinner texture.
- Chia seeds are optional but add extra fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and texture.
- Adjust the amount of coconut water to reach your preferred smoothie thickness.
- For added sweetness, consider adding a little honey or agave syrup, though the pineapple should suffice naturally.
- This smoothie is best consumed immediately for maximum freshness and nutrient retention.
