Tropical Green Smoothie
A vibrant and refreshing green super smoothie for mango and apple fans. It’s so yummy you won’t taste the greens either!
This vegan tropical green smoothie is super refreshing and naturally sweet. And don’t worry, you can’t taste the spinach!
If you want to substitute in a different fruit to mango, I would stick to tropical pale coloured fruits such as kiwi, passionfruit or papaya to keep that bright green smoothie colour. If you use berries, it’ll taste delicious but won’t be a green smoothie anymore.
If you don’t have any frozen spinach you can use fresh spinach, kale, lettuce or any other leafy greens. For non-frozen greens just add in a couple of ice cubes to make it nice and cold.
I’d strongly recommend keeping a batch frozen spinach or other greens in the freezer. It is so handy to have them to hand to add into your smoothies.
If you don’t have frozen tropical fruit buy them fresh and freeze them ahead of time to get the perfect creamy, cold smoothie texture.
WHAT BLENDER SHOULD I USE?
For a blender that’s great value for money you can’t go wrong with a Nutribullet. I have the 900W one and it is such a good option.
I have a Vitamix that I couldn’t live without. It’s definitely a more expensive option - but they are professional grade and can blitz almost anything.
Ingredients
1-2 bananas
Handful of frozen spinach

METHOD
Gather your ingredients.
Blend the greens with the liquid first to make sure it's extra smooth, or if you don't have a super powerful blender.
Now add in the rest of your ingredients and blend.
