A quick and easy green smoothie blending fresh spinach, ripe mango, and banana with almond milk and lemon juice for a delicious, nutrient-packed detox drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (loosely packed)
  • 1 cup ripe mango, chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium banana, peeled
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ยฝ teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • ยฝ cup ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 cups of fresh spinach leaves thoroughly to remove any grit.
  2. Peel and chop 1 ripe mango into roughly 1-inch chunks.
  3. Peel the banana and have it ready.
  4. If using fresh ginger, grate about ยฝ teaspoon.
  5. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk into your blender.
  6. Add spinach first, then mango, banana, lemon juice, and ginger (if using).
  7. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s (optional).
  8. Add ยฝ cup of ice cubes if you want a colder, thicker smoothie (optional).
  9. Start blending on low speed, then gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45-60 seconds or until smooth and creamy with no visible chunks.
  10. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again for 10 seconds.
  11. If it tastes too green or earthy, add a tiny drizzle of honey or maple syrup to balance the flavor.
  12. Pour into your favorite glass or tumbler and serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe fruit for best sweetness and flavor. Layer ingredients starting with liquid and greens for easier blending. Lemon juice brightens flavor and keeps color vibrant. Blend until silky smooth to avoid gritty texture. Frozen mango or ice cubes keep smoothie cold and thick. Can add protein powder or almond butter for extra nutrition.
