Mango Spinach Smoothie

Trust me when I say you'll taste nothing but sweet, fruity, fresh flavor in this Mango Spinach Smoothie! The bright green color is deceiving because while this is a green spinach smoothie, it doesn't taste like it. Instead, it's a smooth, thick, and absolutely delicious tropical smoothie that's good for you, too.

Equipment

  • High Speed Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • cup/glass for serving

Ingredients

  • ½ cup spinach fresh
  • ½ cup cold filtered water
  • 1 cup frozen mango
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder ~roughly 35 grams, I use Clean Simple Eats Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  • Add spinach and filtered water into the blender. Blend until spinach is completely liquified (approximately 20-35 seconds).
    fresh spinach and cold filtered water added to blender.
  • Add in frozen mango and blend again.
  • Next, pour almond milk and protein powder into the mixture. Blend again. Depending on your desired consistency, you may need to add more or less almond milk. Don't be afraid to let your blender work! Blend for about a minute to make sure all of the fruit is blended.
    frozen mangoes, milk, vanilla protein powder, and spinach water all added to glass blender.
  • Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Notes

The sweetness comes from the protein powder. I do no recommend this smoothie without it. If you don't have protein powder, then add one pitted date or half a ripe banana for added sweetness. You could also add vanilla greek yogurt and a few drops of liquid stevia if needed.
My secret for making the best spinach smoothie recipe ... blending with water! It may seem odd but trust me, it works! By blending the spinach with water before adding anything else, you're preparing for a creamy smoothie with no sneaky spinach chunks.
You can use frozen spinach if needed, though it might need more time to blend/dissolve.
Low on frozen mangoes? Use pineapple or peaches. Both pair super well with the mango and adds sweetness to the smoothie.
