Rinse the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit.
Peel the ripe banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the spinach leaves, frozen pineapple chunks, banana, coconut water, lime juice, and honey (if using).
Add the ice cubes to the blender to give the smoothie a chilled, refreshing texture.
Blend the ingredients on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey, if desired.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a slice of lime or a pineapple chunk, if preferred.
