Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup kale leaves
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 medium banana
- 1 cup coconut water
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the fresh spinach and kale thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Pat dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner.
Peel the banana and break it into chunks.
Peel the ginger and grate it using a fine grater, measure out 1 teaspoon.
Add the spinach, kale, frozen mango, and frozen pineapple into a blender.
Add the banana chunks, coconut water, freshly squeezed lime juice, and grated ginger into the blender.
Include the ice cubes to add thickness and chill to your smoothie.
Secure the lid on the blender and start blending on a low setting at first, gradually increasing to high speed. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, without any lumps. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender's power.
Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, you might add a bit of honey or agave syrup, but remember it’s meant to be low-fat and healthy.
Divide the smoothie into two serving glasses. Garnish with a slice of lime on the rim, if desired, and serve immediately.
