Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1.5 cups coconut water
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Instructions
Begin by peeling a medium ripe banana and cutting it into slices.
In a high-speed blender, add the frozen mango chunks and frozen pineapple chunks.
Add the fresh spinach on top of the fruits in the blender.
Include the banana slices, fresh ginger, and lime juice into the blender.
Pour in 1.5 cups of coconut water to the mixture in the blender.
Sprinkle in the chia seeds, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and add texture.
Securely place the lid on the blender and blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. This may take about 1-2 minutes.
If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, gradually add a little more coconut water and blend again until you achieve desired consistency.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary, though the fruit should provide natural sweetness.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for a refreshing, detoxifying drink.
