Green Smoothie Recipe

This Green Smoothie Recipe is a nutrient-dense powerhouse packed with spinach, avocado, and protein powder, blended with sweet mango, pineapple, and coconut water for a refreshing and filling drink.

With a creamy texture and boost of energy, it’s the perfect way to start your day or fuel your active lifestyle.

Ingredients

• Banana 2
• Spinach 2 cups fresh
• Avocado 1
• Mango 1 cup frozen
• Pineapple 1 cup frozen
• Coconut water 1 cup
• Almond milk 1 cup
• Protein powder 1 scoop
• Chia seeds 2 tablespoons
• Honey 1 teaspoon
• Ice cubes 4-6

Instructions

Add the spinach, banana, avocado, mango, pineapple, protein powder, and chia seeds to a high-powered blender. Blend the ingredients on high speed for about 30 seconds, or until the spinach is fully broken down and the mixture is smooth.

Add the coconut water, almond milk, and honey to the blender.

Blend the mixture again for another 30 seconds, or until everything is well combined and smooth. Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend until the ice is crushed and the smoothie is thick and creamy.

Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or consistency as needed.

You can add more honey if you prefer it sweeter, or more almond milk if you prefer it thinner. Pour the smoothie into four glasses and serve immediately.

You can garnish with additional spinach leaves or fruit slices, if desired.

Notes

Banana ripeness matters, so use spotty ones for natural sweetness and creamy texture.

Fresh spinach is key, so don’t even think about using frozen! If you want a thicker smoothie, add more chia seeds or a scoop of peanut butter.

If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk.

You can also swap almond milk with coconut milk or oat milk for different flavor profiles.

Don’t overdo the protein powder, as it can make the smoothie chalky.

Use frozen mango and pineapple for convenience, but feel free to substitute with other frozen fruits like berries or peaches.

Experiment with different spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra boost of flavor.

For a creamier smoothie, add another avocado or some Greek yogurt.

Have fun with it and make it your own!
