Some sed work would do the trick:

a sed to remove ANSI color codes

  sed -r "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[m|K]//g"

a sed to replace space(s) with tabs
```
  sed -r "s/\s+/\t/g"
```

Finaly:

printf "\033[0;32;1mgreen_apple\033[0m 1 100
orange 20 19
pineapple 1000 87
avocado 4 30" \
| sed -r "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[m|K]//g" \
| sed -r "s/\s+/\t/g"

Output:

green_apple     1           100
orange          20          19
pineapple       1000        87
avocado         4           30

PS: I honestly tested all this with ls --color output. This is easier than playing with echo.
