Tropical Green Power Smoothie
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for extra creaminess)
1 large handful fresh baby spinach
1 frozen banana (sliced before freezing for a thicker texture)
1/2 cup frozen mango or pineapple chunks
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or silken tofu (optional, for a protein boost)
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, if you want it sweeter)
For the Toppings (as seen in the photo)
2-3 slices of fresh banana
1 tsp shredded coconut or hemp seeds
Instructions
Liquid First: Pour your milk of choice into the blender. Adding liquid first prevents the blades from getting stuck.
Add the Greens: Toss in the spinach and blend on high for about 30 seconds until the liquid is bright green and no leaf bits remain.
The Frozen Goods: Add the frozen banana and mango/pineapple.
Blend: Process until completely smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add a few ice cubes.
Garnish: Pour into a glass and top with the fresh banana slices and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
A Pro Tip for the Perfect Texture
For that “soft-serve” consistency shown in your image, make sure your banana is fully frozen. A room-temperature banana will make a thinner drink, while a frozen one provides that thick, velvety “smoothie bowl” feel.
