Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup Frozen pineapple chunks
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 Banana
- 1.5 cups Coconut water
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds (optional for added texture and nutrients)
- 4 Ice cubes
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and make sure your blender is clean and ready to use.
Add the frozen mango chunks and frozen pineapple chunks to the base of the blender.
Add the fresh spinach leaves on top of the frozen fruit, followed by the banana (peeled and broken into chunks).
Pour in the coconut water and unsweetened almond milk, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly submerged.
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, chia seeds (optional), and the ice cubes for a chilled, frothy texture.
Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the smoothie and, if desired, add a touch of natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Blend again briefly to mix.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a small lime wedge if desired, and serve immediately.
