Ingredients

Base Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves (washed and dried)

  • 1 banana (fresh or frozen)

  • ½ cup mango chunks or pineapple (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 cup almond milk, coconut water, or plain yogurt

  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

  • A few ice cubes (optional, for thickness)

Optional Boosters:

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds (for fiber and omega-3s)

  • 1 scoop protein powder (for a post-workout boost)

  • ½ avocado (for creaminess)

  • ¼ tsp spirulina powder (for antioxidants)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and dry the spinach thoroughly. Peel and chop fruits if needed.

  2. Layer Your Blender: Add the liquid base first, then spinach, followed by fruits and any optional boosters. This helps the blender mix smoothly.

  3. Blend Until Smooth: Start blending on low speed, then gradually increase to high until the texture is creamy and consistent. Add more liquid for a thinner smoothie or ice for a thicker one.

  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie. If you’d like more sweetness, add honey or maple syrup. Blend again briefly to combine.

  5. Serve Immediately: Pour into a glass or shaker and enjoy right away for the best flavor and nutrient content.

Notes

  • Use baby spinach for a milder flavor; mature spinach adds more nutrients but a stronger taste.

  • Frozen fruits make the smoothie colder and thicker — no need for ice.

  • Meal prep tip: Pre-portion ingredients in freezer bags for quick blending on busy mornings.

  • Add coconut water for hydration or Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess.
