QUICK-HIT SMOOTHIE: TRIPLE GREEN 

"Anti-inflammatory pineapple and ginger add a twist to the classic nutrient-dense green smoothie," says New York City–based registered dietician, Ariana Korman, CDN. "The enzyme bromelain in pineapple has been shown to speed up muscle recovery." Chia seeds are rehydrating while MCT oil provides healthy fats and, according to Korman, "fuels the brain and supports memory, focus, and critical thinking." Matcha adds a hit of energy without the jitters.  

Ingredients: 

1 medium frozen banana 

½ cup diced frozen pineapple 

¼ cup kale 

¼ cup spinach 

1 teaspoon fresh ground ginger 

1 teaspoon chia seeds 

1 teaspoon lemon juice 

2 teaspoons matcha powder 

1 tablespoon MCT oil 

1¼ cups plant-based milk 

Directions: 

Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, 30 seconds to one minute.
