Green Smoothie With Pineapple, Arugula, Greens and Cashews image

Pineapple can stand alone as a fruit to combine with greens in a smoothie. No bananas are required. I did add a piece of ginger to this smoothie and loved the way it pumped up the flavor. I didn't use any dairy in this one, just orange juice. And I found that it required no additional sweetener, though you could add a teaspoon of agave nectar or honey if you wish. It's best to use the pungent, feathery wild arugula for this. I used a baby greens mix that included kale, chard and spinach.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, but I didn't taste it at all in this smoothie. It was just a delicious, refreshing drink.

This smoothie was a great way to use up some leftover pineapple. I also added a scoop of protein powder to make it more filling.

I'm not a big fan of smoothies, but this one was actually really good. It was creamy and flavorful, and it didn't have that chalky texture that some smoothies have.

This smoothie was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll use less liquid next time.

I'm allergic to cashews, so I used almonds instead. It worked out just fine.

I had a hard time finding arugula at my local grocery store. I ended up using spinach instead, and it worked out just fine.

I was a bit skeptical about the arugula in this smoothie, but I was pleasantly surprised! It added a nice peppery flavor that balanced out the sweetness of the pineapple. I'll definitely be making this smoothie again.
