Ingredients

  • 1 cup spinach (or kale, for a stronger green taste)
  • 1 frozen banana (adds creaminess and sweetness)
  • ½ cup mango (or pineapple, for tropical flavor)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative for creaminess)

  3. Blend again – Blend everything on high until creamy and smooth. Add more almond milk if needed for desired consistency.

  5. Serve immediately – Pour into a glass and enjoy fresh!
