Equipment
- Blender
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Knife and cutting board
- Citrus Juicer
- Glass or Jar
Ingredients
- 1 cup of fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup of kale
- 1/2 cup of diced mango
- 1/2 cup of pineapple chunks
- 1 banana
- 1 cup of coconut water
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
- Start by getting all your fresh ingredients. Wash the spinach and kale under cool water to get rid of any dirt. Peel and chop the banana, dice the mango, and cut the pineapple into chunks if needed. Squeeze the lime for fresh juice. Having everything ready makes the smoothie process much easier.
Step 2: Mix Ingredients in Blender
- Start by adding fresh spinach and kale to your blender so they get pureed well. Then, add banana, mango, and pineapple chunks. Pour in fresh lime juice and coconut water to help everything blend smoothly. The order of ingredients matters for a good blend!
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
- Put the lid on your blender tightly before you start. Blend everything on medium to high until it’s smooth and thick. You might need to stop and use a spatula to scrape down the sides so everything gets blended.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
- Once blended, taste the smoothie to see if it meets your flavor preference. If you enjoy a sweeter drink, feel free to add a touch of natural sweeteners like honey or agave syrup. If you want a thinner consistency, simply add a little more coconut water and blend again until smooth.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Pour your freshly blended Island Green Tropical Smoothie into a glass or jar. You can garnish it with a slice of lime or a piece of pineapple for an extra special touch.
Notes
To keep your smoothie longer, pour it into ice cube trays and freeze. When you want another glass, blend the frozen cubes with a little liquid until it’s the right thickness.
