A quick and easy tropical green smoothie that combines the sweetness of mango with the detox benefits of spirulina and spinach, perfect for a nourishing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mango chunks
  • 1 cup (30g) fresh baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon spirulina powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) coconut water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • ½ medium ripe banana (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240ml) of coconut water into your blender. Add 1 teaspoon of spirulina powder. Blend on low for 20 seconds until fully dissolved.
  2. Add 1 cup (30g) fresh baby spinach and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Blend on medium speed for 15 seconds until spinach breaks down but mixture remains bright green.
  3. Add 1 cup (150g) frozen mango chunks and half a ripe banana if using. Blend on high for 30 seconds until creamy and smooth.
  4. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon chia seeds if using. Blend on low for 10 seconds just to mix them in.
  5. Check consistency: if too thick, add a splash of coconut water or almond milk and blend for 5 seconds more; if too thin, add a few more frozen mango chunks and blend briefly.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with a small wedge of lime or a mint leaf if desired.

Notes

Blend spirulina powder first with coconut water to avoid clumps and gritty texture. Use frozen mango chunks for a thick, frosty texture without watering down the smoothie. Rinse blender immediately after use to prevent spirulina staining. Adjust sweetness with honey if mangoes are not ripe enough. Can substitute spirulina with chlorella or omit it. For creamier texture, swap coconut water with almond milk or add Greek yogurt or protein powder.
