What you'll need

Here's a glance at the ingredients you'll need to make this recipe.

• Frozen banana helps give this smoothie its dreamy consistency. Whenever you have bananas that get too ripe, peel them and pop them into a zip-top freezer bag. They keep well in the freezer for at least a year and slice easily even when frozen.
• I like to use frozen mango, too, though it's not strictly necessary that it's frozen. You can buy it frozen or dice it yourself, line a sheet pan with parchment, place it in a single layer, and freeze until solid. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to a year.
• When paired with flavorful frozen fruit, it's amazing how much baby spinach you can pack into a smoothie with no major change in the flavor profile or creamy texture. It's mild-tasting and delicate enough to blend up beautifully.
• As noted in the recipe card below, you may need to adjust the proportion of water if you're not using a high-speed blender.

This simple and satisfying mango spinach smoothie is a great choice for green smoothie novices and experts alike. It's easy to make and easy to love.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup (112 grams) frozen mango chunks
• 1 packed cup (30 grams) baby spinach
• 1 medium frozen banana (about 110 grams after peeling), sliced
• ½ cup (120 ml) cold water

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in blender.
2. Process until completely smooth.
3. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

1. A high-speed blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec makes so many kitchen tasks easier and better, but you absolutely don't need one to make a basic smoothie like this one. If you're using a regular blender, be sure to cut all the ingredients relatively small, and continue blending until the spinach is truly incorporated. You may also need a bit of additional water.
2. Smoothies are at their best shortly after blending. But if you need to make yours in advance, you've got a couple of options. Store it in a regular cup in the freezer for up to an hour or in an insulated, lidded cup in the fridge overnight.
