Mango Spinach Smoothie [that doesn't taste green]
Description
The Mango Spinach Smoothie uses a mix of fresh banana, frozen mango chunks, frozen strawberries, and fresh baby spinach blended with smooth peanut butter and plant-based cashew milk. Using frozen fruit helps thicken and chill the drink, while the peanut butter contributes creaminess and subtle protein content. The spinach adds nutrients but blends in without a strong flavor presence, making the smoothie approachable for those sensitive to green tastes.
Preparation is straightforward—combine all ingredients in a blender and process until even and creamy. The final texture is smooth and slightly thick, suitable for a nutritious snack or a light breakfast.
Variations can include using frozen banana instead of fresh for a cooler smoothie, substituting other nut or seed butters, and adjusting liquid for consistency. The smoothie can be tailored to dietary preferences or ingredient availability.
Ingredients
- 1 banana fresh
- 2 large handfuls baby spinach
- 1 cup Mango frozen chunks
- 1 cup strawberry frozen; chunks or whole
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter smooth
- 1.5 cups cashew milk or plant milk of choice, unsweetened
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to your blender and process until smooth and creamy. Enjoy cold.
Notes
- Substitute frozen banana for fresh to alter texture while maintaining sweetness; adjust milk or water to reach desired consistency.
- Use any plant milk you prefer, such as almond, oat, or soy, to fit dietary needs.
- Replace peanut butter with almond butter or seed butters to accommodate nut allergies or preferences.
- Swap spinach with kale if desired; adjust liquids to compensate for leaf density.
- For kid-friendly appeal, rename the smoothie creatively to encourage children to try it despite the green color.
