Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 3 oz fresh baby spinach leaves (one BIG handful/packed cup)
- 1 BIG apple cut into chunks
- ½ cup frozen mango heaping cup full
- 1 banana
- ½ cup water (or ice cold coconut water) add more water if you want a thinner smoothie
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.
Add more water if you want it thinner.
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).
True yield varies on size of apple and banana used.
