    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    Who knew that a green smoothie could taste so good? Sipping on this smoothie will make you think you're in a tropical paradise.

    It's a quick and easy healthy breakfast that will get you going in the morning. Smoothies are also a perfect afternoon snack or post-workout drink.

    The best part about this recipe is you can customize it to your liking and dietary needs. It's simple to make it dairy-free or vegan by using a plant based milk. If you like it sweeter, add extra honey or maple syrup. If you want it more tropical, add frozen pineapple. Get creative!

    If you're looking for more recipes to sneak some vegetables into your breakfast, try this Tomato Avocado Toast with Arugula or these Zucchini Muffins. If you're looking for more of an egg dish, try this Kale and Mushroom Frittata.

    Mango Spinach Smoothie Ingredients

    With just 5 simple ingredients, you can enjoy this green smoothie!

    • Spinach: A large handful of baby spinach. Spinach is a great green to use in smoothies because of it's mild taste.
    • Mango: Frozen mango chunks. Although you could use fresh mango, frozen works best for a creamy texture. If you really want to use fresh mango, you can freeze it the night before.
    • Milk: Any milk of your choice. My favorites for smoothies are low-fat 1% milk or unsweetened almond milk. Soy milk, oat milk, and coconut milk are also great options for this recipe.
    • Greek Yogurt: 0% fat plain greek yogurt. This makes the smoothie nice and creamy.
    • Honey: Optional, to sweeten the smoothie. You could substitute for pure maple syrup if that's what you have on hand or leave it out.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    I love making smoothies because they're so quick and easy!

    1. Place all the ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
    2. Serve immediately and enjoy!

    Expert Tip: Use frozen fruit in smoothies for a creamy consistency. If you want to make this one extra creamy, you can add a banana and add a splash more milk (if needed).

    Variations

    • Make it more creamy. Add a banana to make this the creamiest smoothie. Pour in a splash more milk as needed for desired consistency.
    • Give it more flavor. To make this smoothie even more flavorful, add in some frozen pineapple chunks or a splash of orange juice. It'll make you feel like you're on a tropical island while drinking it!
    • Swap out the fruit. If you're not a fan of mango, simply use your favorite frozen fruit! Peach, pineapple or berries all work well.
    • Use different greens. You can use whatever your preferred leafy greens are, like kale or chard.
    • Add protein. Add vanilla protein powder for a delicious post-workout fuel.
    • Blend in some mix-ins. Either flaxseed meal or chia seeds can be blended in for some added health benefits.
    • Serve it as a smoothie bowl. Use less milk to create a thicker consistency. Serve it as a smoothie bowl, topped with your favorite toppings like shredded coconut, almonds, and chia seeds.

    Serving Suggestions

    I love to enjoy this Mango Spinach Smoothie as a healthy breakfast, afternoon pick-me-up snack, or post workout refuel. It can be served as a light meal or with your favorite breakfast foods for a complete breakfast.
