Pineapple and Mango Green Smoothie

impressive flavor with only a couple ingredients

I swear this smoothie blows me away every time I drink it. Like, it’s really as simple as Mango, Pineapple, Banana, and Spinach— but it is *so good*.

This blend is super creamy and smooth, especially if you use frozen Bananas. And I think it’s a great beginner Green Smoothie. The Spinach in here is pretty mellow.

A key Smoothie tip: avoid using Frozen Spinach because it’s cooked beforehand and the flavor is real strong. Use the fresh stuff. You can even buy a bag of fresh Spinach and throw right into the freezer if you know you’re gonna forget about it.


{ Difficulty: Level 1 }

[ MAKES 1 X 32 OZ SMOOTHIE ]

Ingredients

2 x Ripe Bananas

1 cup Frozen Mango

1 cup Frozen Pineapple

2 handfuls Baby Spinach

1.5 cups Water

2 tbsp Hemp Seeds (optional)


Equipment

Blender


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Gather your ingredients.

  2. Throw everything in a blender and blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until creamy and smooth.

  3. And that’s it! Pour into a tall mason jar or drink right outta the blender. Enjoy!


NOTES

  • Because Pineapple and Mango are particularly fibrous, you may notice stringy bits in your smoothie if you don’t have a high-powered blender. Completely normal. But if the texture freaks you out, blend again.

  • Saving some for later? Be sure to seal in an airtight container in the fridge so it doesn't get yucky and oxidize.

  • Give this smoothie a more milkshake-y consistency by freezing your Bananas first! Add a little more water if you have trouble blending
