Tropical Green Smoothie

Escape to a tropical paradise with this refreshing and nutritious smoothie, packed with spinach, pineapple, mango, and coconut water.

This vibrant green blend is a perfect way to boost your energy and satisfy your sweet tooth, all while hiding the healthy stuff in a delicious and creamy treat.

Ingredients

• 2 cups spinach
• 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple
• 1 1/2 cups frozen mango
• 1 cup frozen coconut water
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

Add the spinach, pineapple, mango, coconut water, Greek yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, and vanilla protein powder to a high-powered blender.

Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy.

Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding the honey as needed.

If you want a thicker consistency, add a few ice cubes and blend until crushed.

Blend the mixture again until everything is well combined.

Pour the smoothie into 5 separate glasses and serve immediately!

Notes

Use frozen fruit to give the smoothie a thicker consistency and a colder temperature.

You can also add other fruits like banana or berries to change up the flavor.

Make sure to spin the spinach dry before adding it to the blender to avoid excess water.

If you don’t have a high-powered blender, blend the mixture in smaller batches to avoid overloading the blender.

You can also add a handful of ice to the blender if you want a thicker smoothie.

This smoothie is perfect for a post-workout snack or a healthy breakfast on-the-go.

You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Feel free to play around with the amounts of each ingredient to find your perfect combination!
