Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup spinach leaves, packed
  • 1/2 cup chopped ripe mango (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pineapple (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut water
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes

Equipment

  • blender
  • measuring cups
  • spoon or spatula to scrape blender sides
  • glass for serving

Instructions
 

  1. Add the spinach to the blender first so it blends smoothly without clumping.
  2. Add mango, pineapple, and banana slices on top of the spinach.
  3. Pour in the coconut water, then add the Greek yogurt and chia seeds.
  4. Add the ice cubes last to help keep the smoothie chilled and thick.
  5. Blend on high speed for 1–2 minutes, or until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Check the texture—if it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut water and blend again.
  7. Taste and adjust by adding a little honey if more sweetness is desired.
  8. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately while cold and fresh.

Notes

Use frozen fruit for a colder, thicker smoothie. Swap spinach with kale for a stronger green flavor. Coconut water boosts hydration, while chia seeds add fiber and omega-3s. Add protein powder for a post-workout boost or skip banana and sub avocado for less sugar and more creaminess.
