What you’ll need to make spinach mango green smoothies

• 1 cup (240ml) almond milk, unsweetened
• 1 medium frozen banana
• ½ frozen mango chunks
• 2 cups (60g) spinach
• ¼ cup (15g) pumpkin seeds
• 2 tbsp. hemp seeds hearts
• 1 scoop (25g) vanilla protein powder
• ¼ cup (60ml) water

Ingredient substitutions

Recipe without Banana: You may use Greek yogurt instead of the banana if you like to make this a mango green smoothie with no banana. Toss in some extra mango or frozen pineapple for an additional burst of fruity flavor.

Recipe with Yogurt: This is a mango smoothie without yogurt, but you may add plain Greek yogurt for extra protein.

What you could also add

Pineapple: Replace the banana with frozen fruit or fresh pineapple pieces. If using frozen, you may need to add a splash of almond milk to help everything mix properly.

Nut butters: Add some nut butter (peanut butter, in my case). This will give the smoothie more healthy fat and help it to keep your family full and going longer.

Seeds: Chia seeds and ground flax are excellent sources of nutrients.

Orange: Add an unpeeled orange to the blender. The flavor of oranges complements green smoothies very well, and it goes great with the banana and mango in this one.

Recipe tips

To Freeze: Smoothies last up to 3 months when stored in freezer-safe jars. The night before serving, transfer the frozen smoothie to the refrigerator so it can thaw. For a veggie-packed dessert that will wow the youngsters, freeze the smoothie into popsicles.

Bananas: If you want to use fresh bananas and fresh mango, prepare the fruit first. Make sure you choose ripe bananas and get the best fresh fruit to make the mango spinach smoothie full of tropical flavor.
