Recipe

Are you looking for a way to get more fresh greens into your diet without tasting them? Blend lots of raw spinach with mango and banana. All you'll notice of the spinach is its beautiful, chlorophyll-rich green colour. This recipe is vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and grain free.

Ingredients

mango, hemp hearts, banana, almond milk, and spinach with labels

Mango - I prefer a nice, ripe, fresh mango for my smoothies. While frozen mango is convenient to use, I've just not been able find frozen mango that's as nice and sweet as a good fresh mango.

Spinach - Here is an excellent source of several essential vitamins and minerals including Vitamin K. Vitamin K is important for bone health, and spinach is one of the best sources of Vitamin K.

Banana - Use either a fresh, ripe banana or a frozen one. Just be sure to peel and slice the banana before you freeze it! This is a great way to deal with bananas that you know you won't be able to use up before they become overripe.

Almond Milk - I tested this recipe with unsweetened almond milk. You could certainly substitute another unsweetened dairy free milk, if you wish.

Hemp Hearts - Also known as hemp seeds, they're a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and plant-based protein.

Combining spinach with fruit is a great way to make consuming nutrition-packed dark, leafy greens more pleasurable.

Can you put raw spinach in a smoothie?

Yes, you can definitely put raw spinach into a smoothie. It blends beautifully into a creamy drink.

What should I do with leftover smoothie?

Leftover mango smoothie will keep, sealed in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
