These green smoothies are not just good for you, but they're also refreshing, tasty, satisfying and give you A LOT of energy.
Ingredients
2½ cups filtered water
1 large handful baby spinach, washed
1 cup frozen mango
1 cup frozen pineapple
3 bananas
¼ cup unsweetened coconut
Instructions
Add water to blender. I measure using the blender. Add in spinach and blend till spinach is pureed.
Add in frozen mango, and blend.
Add in frozen pineapple and blend
Add in bananas and blend well.
Save coconut for last and barely blend. I like to have bits of coconut to chew on. Makes it more like a meal.
** If you only have fresh mango or fresh pineapple, then use frozen bananas. I always keep a bag of ripe peeled bananas broken into chunks in my freezer. Anytime you use fresh fruit, add in frozen bananas. That way you have the creaminess you desire. **
** If you are using a larger blender and want to increase the quantity this serves, just add another ½ cup water, and a little extra frozen fruit. **
