Start your day with a refreshing pineapple kiwi green smoothie bowl! (gluten-free, vegan option)
I don't make a whole lot of smoothies, especially green ones. I really do enjoy eating veggies.
But if you don't love eating your greens, a smoothie can be a great option to help you get those dark leafy greens into your daily routine!
I love this pineapple kiwi green smoothie because it tastes delicious and tropical (not like grass), and it's loaded with nutrition. It's got you covered on the basics - fiber, protein, and healthy fat, as well as tons of vitamins and minerals - vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, folate, and iron to name a few. And all that produce provides antioxidant power, too!
While I'm not big on protein powders, this smoothie doesn't have a protein base, like yogurt, so I added collagen peptide powder (You can read more about collagen here). If you want to make your smoothie vegan, use your favorite plant-based protein powder and nondairy milk.
If you prefer your smoothie to go, simply pour in a glass and sip on your commute. Or if you have a little time and like to decorate your smoothie, pour into a bowl and top with your favorite toppings! I used coconut, banana, and kiwi in this pineapple kiwi green smoothie bowl. Enjoy!

Notes
Did you know that you don't have to peel kiwi? The skin is completely edible and contains a lot of nutrients! If you have a high-powered blender, you can toss sliced kiwi in with the peel to save you some time. If you prefer to peel it though, go for it.
