Add pineapple, cucumber, seeds, mint leaves, and coconut water to a high-speed blender.
2 cups fresh or frozen pineapple chunks, 1 cup sliced English cucumber, ¼ cup roasted sunflower kernels, 3 fresh mint leaves, 1 cup unsweetened coconut water
Blend until you get a smooth and creamy consistency.
Pour into your favorite glass or mason jar. Garnish with extra cucumber slices, and enjoy.

Helpful Tips & Substitutions:

For a creamier texture, replace half of the coconut water with light coconut or almond milk.
For a lighter smoothie with a less sweet taste, replace half of the coconut water with cold water. However, this smoothie is not overly sweet despite the pineapple chunks.
Serve over some frozen pineapple chunks on a hot summer day.
Stir in protein powder if enjoyed as a post-workout drink.
Add a tad of lemon, lime juice, or lemon zest for a more refreshing acidic element.
Add a small amount of fresh ginger for a spicier touch.
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add maple syrup or honey.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
