Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 3 oz fresh spinach (one BIG handful)
  • 1 apple cut into chunks
  • ½ cup frozen mango heaping cup full
  • 1 banana
  • ¾ cup ice water (or ice cold coconut water)

Notes

Use frozen mango. First, it helps make the smoothie cold and second, I feel you get more from a bag of frozen mango vs buying fresh ones. Less waste IMO.
You can swap ice cold coconut water for plain water if you enjoy that. 
I like using ice cold water vs ice in this. It gives the best consistency that you in my opinion.
Blenders vary, so if yours is being stubborn, use a spatula or muddler to mash the ingredients down a few times as you blend (while motor is off).
