Banana, Chia and Spinach Smoothie
Description
The smoothie starts by placing ripe bananas, frozen mango chunks, fresh spinach leaves, chia seeds, and almond milk in a blender. Using frozen mango instead of ice chills the smoothie without watering down the flavor. The blender processes everything together for a couple of minutes until smooth. The result is a pale, creamy green beverage that incorporates sweetness from the fruit and a fresh, mild vegetal taste from the spinach.
Serving the smoothie immediately ensures a cool, refreshing drink with the chia seeds slightly softened but retaining some texture. The almond milk provides a nutty undertone without additional sweetness, allowing the mango and bananas to shine.

- 1 cup Mango frozen
- 2 banana ripe
- 2 spinach handful; fresh
- 2 teaspoon chia seeds
