Mango-Coconut Green Smoothie (Serves 1-2)
courtesy of
With its light coconut milk base - no dairy here - this vegan green smoothie is utterly creamy and coconutty. Mango gives it a tropical vibe that makes it taste like a day at the beach.
Ingredients
1 cup fresh washed spinach leaves (packed)
1 cup fresh mango cubes
1/2 medium banana
3/4 cup light canned coconut milk (can substitute almond milk, but the end result might not be as creamy and won\'t taste coconutty)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup ice cubes
Optional additions
1 tablespoon coconut butter (this adds a bit more more coconut flavor plus fiber and a little protein)
1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds (these add some more fiber plus omega-3 fatty acids and a little protein)
Chopped mango or coconut for topping
