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.
