Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut water
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 3 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris, then shake off excess water.
Peel the banana and cut it into chunks for easier blending.
Add the fresh spinach, banana chunks, frozen mango, orange juice, and coconut water into a high-powered blender.
Peel a small piece of fresh ginger and grate or finely chop it, then add it to the blender for a zesty kick.
Sprinkle the chia seeds over the other ingredients in the blender for an extra boost of fiber and omega-3s.
Add the ice cubes to the blender to create a refreshing, chilled consistency.
Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or flavor if needed by adding a little more juice or a small drizzle of raw honey (optional).
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
