Spinach Mango Delight Smoothie
A bright green smoothie with tropical mango sweetness balanced by creamy banana — nutrient-dense, refreshing, and perfect for breakfast or post-workout fuel.
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup firmly packed fresh spinach
- ½ cup frozen mango pieces
- 1 small banana, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Pour the almond milk into the blender first so the blades pull everything down efficiently.
- Add the spinach, mango, banana, and chia seeds.
- Blend on high speed until fully smooth — usually 30 to 60 seconds depending on blender power.
- Taste and, if desired, add honey or maple syrup and briefly blend again.
- Serve right away. If you want texture, sprinkle a small amount of chia seeds or granola on top.
Notes
Pro Tips & Variations
- Swap banana for half an avocado for less sweetness but ultra-creamy texture.
- For thicker consistency, use all frozen fruit or reduce milk slightly.
- Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a more filling meal replacement.
- Freeze the spinach in small portions so it blends cold and bright without watering the smoothie down.
