1.5 cups Frozen mango chunks
2 cups Fresh baby spinach
1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon Chia seeds
1 teaspoon Fresh lime juice
0.5 inch Fresh ginger, peeled

2 Instructions

1

Pour the unsweetened coconut milk and lime juice into your blender container first to ensure easy blending.

Add the fresh baby spinach and ginger. Blend on medium speed until the leaves are completely liquefied and no green flakes remain.

Add the frozen mango chunks and chia seeds to the liquid mixture.

4

Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds or until the smoothie is thick, velvety, and completely smooth.

If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk; if it's too thin, add a few more frozen mango pieces and blend again.

6

Pour into a tall glass and garnish with a few mango bits or a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired.


๐Ÿ’ก Tips & Tricks

  • ยท

    Use frozen mango instead of fresh to achieve a thick, milkshake-like consistency without watering it down with ice.

  • ยท

    Blend your greens and liquid first before adding frozen fruit to ensure there are no leafy bits left in your drink.

  • ยท

    If you want an extra protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla pea protein or Greek yogurt.

  • ยท

    To prep ahead, place the spinach and mango in a freezer bag; just add liquid and blend when ready to eat.


? Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?
Yes, but you will need to add about 1/2 cup of ice to get the desired cold, thick consistency.
Does this smoothie taste like spinach?
Not at all! The sweetness of the mango and the zest of the lime completely mask the flavor of the spinach.
How long will this smoothie stay fresh in the fridge?
It is best enjoyed immediately, but you can store it in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking as separation is natural.
Can I substitute the coconut milk?
Absolutely. Almond milk, oat milk, or even plain water or coconut water work beautifully in this recipe.
