Easy Spinach Mango Smoothie

This super green mango spinach smoothie has three different fruits and veggies in it, and I will take all the nutrients I can get in the morning! I've also added some flaxseed for extra fiber. If you're looking to pump up the protein, you can also add a scoop of protein powder!

During the winter I love making some chocolate baked oats, but when the sun is shining you will always find me with a Shrek green smoothie. It's just a great way to get fresh fruit and vegetables!

Ingredients Needed

• Mango: you can use fresh or frozen mango here. I prefer using mango as it really thickens up the smoothie.
• Baby Spinach: you can also use fresh or frozen spinach here! I personally prefer frozen spinach as I always have it in my freezer.
• Ground Flaxseed: ground flaxseed is going to give you more fiber!
• Banana: I'm adding half of a frozen banana, but you can use a fresh banana if you prefer.
• Unsweetened Almond Milk: I prefer using almond milk, but you can use oat milk, regular dairy milk, or soy milk.

Substitutions & Variations

• Swap out the almond milk for coconut water or coconut milk.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

• Fresh or Frozen: You can use fresh mango, banana and raw spinach, but I prefer using frozen fruits and vegetables to make my smoothie super thick and creamy.
• Blender: Depending on your blender you may need to add more liquid to get it to blend. This is the blender I use. You want to use a high-speed blender so the smoothie gets super smooth.
• Thinner Smoothie: If you prefer a thinner smoothie, you can add more liquid.
• No Bananas: If you aren't a fan of bananas, swap it out for frozen cauliflower rice or for greek yogurt.
• Sweeten it up: I find this smoothie naturally sweet, but if you want to sweeten it more you can add a bit of maple syrup.
