Spinach disappears so completely in a mango blend that I stopped telling people it was in there. This mango spinach detox smoothie tastes like a tropical drink, with the greens only adding a deeper color.
Refreshing Mango Spinach Detox Smoothie
This smoothie incorporates sweet mango with nutrient-dense spinach, resulting in a lively green drink that’s packed with antioxidants. The recipe takes only about 10 minutes to make and serves 2 people, making it a perfect pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, washed
- 1 banana, frozen
- 1 cup coconut water or almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for desired thickness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and dice the mango, and if using fresh banana, peel it and cut it into chunks. Wash the spinach thoroughly.
- Blend Smoothie: In a blender, combine the diced mango, spinach, frozen banana, coconut water or almond milk, and chia seeds, if using. Blend until smooth.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more coconut water or almond milk until the desired consistency is reached. For a colder smoothie, add ice cubes and blend again.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
Pack the spinach down before measuring so you actually get a full cup. Blend the leaves with the liquid first, then add the fruit.
