Spinach Pineapple Banana Smoothie with Chia Seeds

I wanted to start our morning with a green healthy nutritious smoothie. Since our youngens wanted to include a banana and pineapple in it, I decided to go for Spinach Pineapple Banana smoothie with healthy Chia Seeds. So I met them in the middle, still having my spinach and powerful Chia seeds and since they blend well with banana, our toddlers didn’t complain.
