Ingredients:
1 banana
1 cup frozen spinach or kale
1/2 cup frozen mango or pineapple
1/2 cup water or coconut water
1/2 cup ice (optional)
Instructions:
Toss all these goodies into a blender.
Blast it on high until it’s nice and smooth (usually takes about 1-2 minutes).
Pour it into a glass and start sipping right away.
If you’re feeling fancy:
Chuck in a scoop of protein powder or a handful of nuts for an extra protein and healthy fat boost.
Swap out the water or coconut water for almond milk, coconut milk, or any other type of milk you like.
Play around with different fruits and greens to find your perfect combo.
