This green smoothie does NOT taste green – it’s sweet, creamy and refreshing and tastes just like a tropical smoothie!

This smoothie is perfect for any time of the day – boost your energy levels in the morning or make it the perfect afternoon pick-me-up to combat your slump. No caffeine, but with energy boosting ingredients like spinach, pineapple and apples, this will leave you feeling active and alert.

My pro tip: Try adding mushroom powders like lion’s mane mushroom or reishi mushroom powders for an added boost of natural energy.

What Ingredients Do I Need?

You would need these ingredients for the perfect tropical green smoothie:

  • frozen mango
  • frozen spinach
  • frozen pineapple
  • flax meal
  • chia seeds
  • avocado
  • apple
  • oat milk

Make sure your fruits are frozen for the perfect texture. I prefer frozen spinach too to ensure the texture is thick and creamy. If you don’t have frozen spinach, you can also use one cup of regular spinach.

This recipe is 100% vegan and gluten free (substitute oat milk with any other plant based milk)
