Description
A creamy, dairy-free green smoothie that tastes like liquid sunshine. This 5-ingredient recipe uses frozen mango and pineapple to mask the spinach, resulting in a sweet, tropical breakfast ready in just 5 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup frozen pineapple tidbits
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned for richness)
- 1 cup fresh spinach (packed)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, if fruit isn’t sweet enough)
Instructions
- Ensure frozen fruit is properly frozen solid. If using fresh fruit, freeze chunks on a baking sheet for at least 4 hours.
- Pour the coconut milk into the blender first to help the blades spin freely.
- Add the fresh spinach, followed by the frozen mango chunks and pineapple tidbits. Add lime juice and ginger if using.
- Secure the lid and blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high speed. Blend for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust consistency or sweetness by adding more liquid, fruit, lime juice, or honey as needed.
- Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
For best results, use frozen fruit to achieve a thick, milkshake-like consistency without diluting the flavor with ice. If using a weaker blender, blend in stages starting on low. The smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking as separation occurs.
