Put pineapple juice, spinach, cucumber, and frozen bananas into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

Seedless cucumbers with thin skin like English cucumbers are the easiest to blend.
Always slice the banana before freezing it. Avoid adding a whole frozen banana to your blender, which can damage the blades.
Be sure to use ripe bananas. You can tell a banana is ripe if its peel is yellow with some dark brown spots. Bananas with green peels are unripe and bitter, so avoid using them.
If the smoothie is too thick for your preference, add some pineapple juice and blend for 10 seconds.
Store leftover cucumber smoothie in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. The drink will lose nutrition and flavor over time, so try to enjoy it as soon as possible.
