Ingredients

120 g baby spinach washed and packed
2 large banana peeled and sliced
480 g pineapple chunks fresh or thawed frozen
360 g plain Greek yogurt
480 ml milk
240 ml orange juice
30 ml honey
480 g ice
64 g gummy worms for garnish

Instructions

Add the spinach, bananas, pineapple, Greek yogurt, milk, orange juice, and ice to a blender in that order. If using honey, add it now. If your blender is smaller than 2.0 L, blend in 2 batches, using half of each ingredient list per batch. The blender jar is filled without overfilling, and the ingredients are ready to blend.
Blend on high until completely smooth, 30 to 60 seconds. Stop once no visible spinach flecks remain and the mixture looks thick but pourable. If the smoothie is too thick, add a small splash of milk and blend briefly; if too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again. The smoothie is uniformly green and pours in a steady ribbon.
Divide the smoothie among 8 glasses and garnish each with about 8 g gummy worms, if using, added right before serving so they stay on top. Each glass is filled and topped with garnish.
