Ingredients

Fruits and Base

1 cup fresh or frozen banana slices A creamy foundation that offers natural sweetness; substitute with avocado for a different texture.
½ cup frozen pineapple chunks Sweet and tangy, offering a taste of the tropics; fresh pineapple works too but may require ice for frostiness.
½ cup frozen mango chunks Adds sweetness and a vibrant color; you can replace with fresh mango if you’re using ice.

Greens and Liquid

1 cup spinach or kale (packed) A nutrient powerhouse that blends beautifully; substitute kale with Swiss chard for a milder flavor.
1 cup coconut water Hydrating and subtly sweet, it adds a tropical essence; feel free to use almond milk for a creamier texture.

Method

Preparation

Add all the ingredients to a high-powered blender.
Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or blend again before consuming, as ingredients may separate. You can also freeze leftovers into ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers for quick blends later. Pro tips include using chilled coconut water for an extra cooling effect and experimenting with herbs like mint for an aromatic twist.
