Creamy Green Power Smoothie Recipe

This creamy green power smoothie is a refreshing, nutrient-packed drink made with simple, wholesome ingredients. It combines leafy greens, tropical fruit, and healthy fats to create a smooth, naturally sweet beverage that’s perfect for breakfast, post-workout recovery, or a mid-day energy boost. The vibrant green color comes from fresh spinach, while banana, mango, and avocado add richness and natural sweetness without the need for added sugar.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (washed and loosely packed)

  • 1 ripe banana (peeled and sliced)

  • ½ ripe avocado (peeled and cubed)

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks

  • 1 to 1½ cups cold water, coconut water, or almond milk

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or dates (for extra sweetness)

  • Optional: Ice cubes for a thicker, colder smoothie

Instructions:

  1. Begin by washing the spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat dry if needed.

  2. Peel the banana and avocado, then cut them into medium-sized pieces for easier blending.

  3. Add the liquid of your choice (water, coconut water, or almond milk) to the blender first. This helps the blades move smoothly.

  4. Add spinach on top of the liquid, followed by banana, avocado, and mango chunks.

  5. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds, then increase to high speed and blend for another 30–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.

  6. Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add honey or dates and blend again briefly.

  7. If the texture is too thick, add a little more liquid. For a colder drink, add ice and blend once more.

  8. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.

Benefits:

This smoothie is rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, potassium, and healthy fats. Spinach supports digestion and immunity, banana provides natural energy, mango adds antioxidants, and avocado contributes heart-healthy fats that keep you full longer. Together, they create a balanced, satisfying drink that’s both delicious and nourishing.

Serving Tip:

Enjoy this smoothie fresh for the best taste and nutrition. Pair it with nuts or whole-grain toast for a complete, energizing meal.
