Why you'll love this spinach mango smoothie!
- This healthy green smoothie is made with three fruits and vegetables, so it is the perfect way to start your day.
- You only need 5 ingredients to make this smoothie.
- This mango spinach smoothie is super thick and creamy, but you can add more almond milk if you prefer a thinner smoothie!
- This makes one smoothie, but you can easily double or triple the ingredients to make more smoothies.
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: this is going to give you more fiber!
- Banana: I'm adding a 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
- Add a scoop of unflavored protein powder or vanilla protein powder.
- Feel free to add a tablespoon of peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter.
- Add up to a half cup of greek yogurt to make this smoothie extra creamy, and it adds more protein!
- Swap out the almond milk for coconut water or coconut milk.
- You can swap out the flaxseed for chia seeds or hemp hearts.
- If you don't love bananas, swap it out for frozen cauliflower or frozen cauliflower rice. I promise you can't taste it!
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Add the almond milk, spinach, banana, mango and flaxseed to a blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth and enjoy!
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- 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.
- 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.
- If you prefer a thinner smoothie, you can add more liquid.
- If you aren't a fan of bananas, swap it out for frozen cauliflower rice or for greek yogurt.
- I find this smoothie naturally sweet, but if you want to sweeten it more you can add a bit of maple syrup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, if you follow the recipe as written it is vegan and dairy free. If you want to add yogurt, add dairy free yogurt. If you want to add protein powder, use a plant-based protein powder.
As someone who doesn't love spinach (or a lot of leafy greens to be honest), you definitely can't taste it! It tastes slightly sweet thanks to the banana and fruity because of the mango.
It definitely is! The spinach has iron, while the banana has potassium and fiber and the mango has vitamin c!
