Ingredients
- 1/2 banana
- 1 cup spinach or another leafy green like kale
- 1 1/2 cup frozen mango or pineapple (or combination of both)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut use sweetened if that's all you have
- juice of half a lime
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk almond milk or coconut water work too
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend on high until combined, about 1-2 minutes.
Notes
- Having a banana in the smoothie is really going to help with the consistency, making it super creamy. However you could try substituting the banana with half to a whole avocado.
- Making this tropical green smoothie into freezer smoothie packs is a great idea! Into individual freezer bags measure out the banana, spinach, frozen pineapple, frozen mango and shredded coconut for one smoothie per bag. Store in the freezer until to blend. Blend the frozen ingredients of one smoothie pack with lime juice, coconut milk and optional protein powder to make one smoothie. Note: freezing the ingredients together in smoothie packs may make for a thicker smoothie when blended so adjust by adding more coconut milk to reach the desired smoothie consistency.
