Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas peeled and broken into chunks
  • 2 cups frozen mango pieces
  • 4 cups baby spinach fresh
  • 2 cups almond milk unsweetened

Instructions

  • Start by peeling the bananas and breaking them into chunks for easier blending. Measure out your frozen mango pieces, fresh baby spinach, and almond milk.
  • Place the baby spinach in the blender first. Next, add the banana chunks and frozen mango pieces. Finally, pour in the almond milk.
  • Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 45 to 60 seconds or until the mixture is silky and uniform. If needed, pause and stir or add more almond milk.
  • Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding honey or a date if desired. Add more almond milk for a thinner consistency.
  • Pour the smoothie into a glass or reusable tumbler. Garnish with a spinach leaf or banana slice if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Freeze portioned bananas, mango pieces, and spinach in bags for quick smoothie prep later.
  • Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra omega-3s and fiber.
  • Use plant-based protein powder to turn it into a meal replacement.
  • Swap almond milk for coconut water for a lighter, electrolyte-rich option.
  • Blend in avocado for extra creaminess without many calories.
