Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 cup spinach, tightly packed
Fruits
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
- 1/2 cup frozen mango
- 1 banana
Liquids
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Measure: Tightly pack 1 cup of fresh spinach into a measuring cup to ensure you have the right amount of greens for your smoothie.
- Add: Place the spinach into your blender along with 1 cup of water. Blend until all chunks of spinach are completely gone, resulting in a green water-like consistency.
- Toss: Add 1/2 cup frozen pineapple, 1/2 cup frozen mango, and 1 banana to the blender. Using frozen fruit helps chill the smoothie and saves prep time.
- Blend: Blend all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender’s strength, this may take between 30 seconds and 2 minutes.
- Pour: Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately to enjoy the freshest taste and maximum nutrient benefit.
Notes
- Using frozen fruit chills the smoothie without the need for ice, which can dilute flavor.
- You can substitute water with almond milk or coconut water for added flavor and creaminess.
- For added protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Consume the smoothie immediately to benefit from the highest nutrient content and best taste.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, reduce the amount of water or add more frozen fruit.
