Healthy Green Smoothie | Island Green Smoothie

I don’t know about you, but I sometimes have trouble eating all of the fruits and vegetables that I should be throughout the day. When that happens, I know I can whip up one of these Healthy Green Smoothies and get my fill in quickly.

This is a super easy and healthy tropical smoothie recipe that uses clean, plant-based ingredients. I usually have most of the fruit already in the freezer, so this can be made in no time.

Ingredients

• Banana: fresh or frozen banana will work for this smoothie. They don’t have to be super ripe bananas, but green ones can leave a funny taste.
• Pineapple: frozen pineapple has a natural sweetness, so there’s no need for any added sugar.
• Mango: frozen mango is easiest!
• Spinach or Kale: which ever leafy green you prefer. I like to use fresh spinach.
• Coconut water: not to be confused with coconut milk, coconut water is low in calories, which makes this a healthy green smoothie for weight loss! In addition, it may also offer health benefits. Some studies suggest that it could lower blood pressure, and blood sugar levels in diabetics. Overall, it’s a tasty, natural drink that’s full of vitamins and minerals that are good for your body!

Directions

• Add all of the ingredients to a high powered blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Recipe tips

• Optional add-ins: flax seeds, chia seeds, or protein powder or greek yogurt for a protein smoothie.
• This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled depending on how many servings you would like to make.
• Using frozen fruit is key in a great smoothie – it helps create that delicious thick consistency.
• To make a smoothie bowl, reduce the coconut water to 1/2 cup and top with your desired toppings (fresh pineapple, banana, coconut, and chia seeds are great options).
• We love these reusable stainless steel straws.
