Mango Spinach Smoothie

Why you'll love this mango spinach smoothie recipe:

If you're sick of the same old green smoothie, I have come to your rescue. This smoothie is basically vanilla mango coconut heaven and secretly contains spinach.

This green mango smoothie contains 23 grams of protein!

You can't taste the spinach! The sweetness of the mango and the vanilla protein powder completely masks the flavor of the greens.

Even though this green smoothie contains no banana and no yogurt, it's still super creamy. I'll let you in on some tips below.

Even your kids will love this smoothie. Plus, it's a great way to sneak some greens into their diet.

Ingredients:

• unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice
• fresh baby spinach
• frozen mango chunks
• vanilla protein powder - You can use whey protein, plant based protein or even collagen powder.
• shredded unsweetened coconut

A complete list of ingredients, amounts and instructions is located on the recipe card below.

Choosing fresh vs. frozen fruit:

I used frozen mango in this smoothie because that helps obtain a creamy texture.

You can find frozen mango chunks in the freezer section of your grocery store. Alternatively, you can buy a ripe mango, cut it into chunks and freeze it.

If you want to use fresh mango, I suggest adding ice into the blender to help with texture. When choosing a mango at the store, gently press on the mango with your finger. You will know it's ripe if it gives in a bit. If it's super hard and doesn't give in at all, it's not ready to eat.

How to make this delicious mango spinach smoothie:

Add all of the ingredients into a high-powered blender. I recommend THIS blender!

• Blend on high for 1 minute or until all ingredients are well combined.
• If needed, add in more milk to thin the smoothie. This will depend on the power of your blender and the consistency of the protein powder you use.

Serve with a straw. I topped mine with some extra shredded coconut.

Recipe pro-tips

Add the milk into the blender before the mango chunks. This will keep the blender from getting stuck or the blade becoming damaged.

Using frozen mango chunks is best for this smoothie.

You can skip the shredded coconut if you don't have it on hand.

Use protein powder that you enjoy the taste of!

Make this mango protein smoothie vegan by using plant based milk and plant based protein.
