It’s perfect for busy mornings, a post-workout refresh, or even a delightful snack that’ll have your kids asking for more.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delightful smoothie:

• 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced (fresh or frozen)
• 1 medium orange, peeled and segmented
• 1 banana, for that silky texture
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or your favorite non-dairy alternative)
• 1 cup spinach (don’t worry, you won’t taste it!)
• 1 cup coconut water (or plain water for a lighter option)
• Ice cubes (optional, for an extra chill)

Instructions: How to Blend Your Bliss

1. Prep the Produce: Grab your ripe mango, orange, and banana. If you’re using fresh ingredients, ensure they’re ripe for the best flavor. Fun fact: ripening fruits means maximum happiness in your smoothie!

2. Toss It All In: In your blender, add the diced mango, orange segments, banana, Greek yogurt, spinach, and coconut water. Yes, yes, even the spinach—trust me, it’s like a stealthy ninja in your smoothie!

3. Blend It Up: Secure the lid (because no one likes a smoothie shower) and blend on high until smooth and creamy. If you want it a bit thicker or colder, toss in some ice cubes and blend again.

4. Pour & Enjoy: Grab your favorite glass, pour in the smoothie, and take a moment to admire that gorgeous color. You did it! Now, sip slowly and let the worry of the day melt away.

Cooking Tips: Elevate Your Smoothie Game

• Texture Control: Want a creamier smoothie? Add more Greek yogurt or a splash of almond milk. If you prefer it thinner, just increase the coconut water.

• Fruit Freedom: Feel free to get crafty! Swap in other fruits like pineapple or berries based on what you have on hand. Smoothies are like blank canvases; let your creativity flow!

• Sweetness Level: Taste testing is key! If it’s not sweet enough for your liking, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Just don’t get carried away—we want a smoothie, not a sugar bomb!

Absolutely! Blend it up the night before and store it in the fridge. Just give it a good shake or a quick stir before enjoying it in the morning.
