Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 avocado (optional for creaminess)
- A few mint leaves (optional for freshness)
Instructions
- Prep: Ensure all ingredients are ready. For a colder smoothie, ensure the banana is frozen.
- Blend: Add coconut water to the blender first, followed by the banana, mango, pineapple, spinach, and ginger. If using, also add avocado and mint.
- Mix Until Smooth: Blend on high until smooth, approximately 30-60 seconds.
- Taste and Adjust: If too thick, add more coconut water. For sweetness, consider a dash of honey, though fruits often make it sweet enough.
Notes
Blend spinach and coconut water first for a smoother result.
Frozen fruit helps keep the smoothie cold and thick.
Use avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
Mint enhances freshness and focus.
Store up to 24 hours in the fridge or freeze in ice cube trays for later.
