Pineapple Ginger Smoothie

This is a great smoothie recipe that combines fresh cut pineapple blended with ginger root.  We make this blended drink
1-2 times per month and the whole family loves this drink.
 
For the basic recipe, we combined 1/2 fresh pineapple with about 1/2 inch of fresh ginger root (a small amount of ginger goes a long way so you might want to start out with a smaller portion of ginger and add more if desired).  Add ice and almond milk, then blend mixture until smooth and creamy.
 
The above is the basic recipe and it tastes great with just those few ingredients, however....
 
The other night, though, I added two bananas, 1 Tablespoon of ground flax seeds, 1 Tablespoon of chia seeds, 2 cups of raw organic spinach and one packet of Stevia sweetener.
 
 

The boys were in bed when we made this, so they missed out on a great dessert/healthy drink.
 
Who knew desserts could be so healthy? 
 
Are YOUR desserts packed with omega-3 fatty acids, spinach, anti-oxidants(pineapple)
and anti-inflammatory properties(ginger)?
