Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup Frozen pineapple chunks
- 0.5 whole Avocado
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut water
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey or agave nectar (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground chili powder
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Add the frozen mango chunks, pineapple chunks, and avocado half to a high-powered blender.
Layer in the spinach leaves next for easier blending.
Pour in the unsweetened coconut water and add the Greek yogurt.
Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and drizzle with honey or agave nectar, if desired for added sweetness.
Sprinkle the ground chili powder over the ingredients to give the smoothie a subtle Southwestern kick.
Toss in the ice cubes to make the smoothie cold and frothy.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides of the blender, if necessary.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or spice level by adding more honey or chili powder, if needed.
Divide the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a small lime wedge on the rim or a sprinkle of chili powder.
