A quick and easy fresh green smoothie bowl combining mild spinach with sweet fruit toppings for a refreshing, nutrient-packed breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves (loosely packed)
  • 1 large frozen banana (or 1 ½ cups sliced)
  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced (for topping)
  • Kiwi, peeled and sliced (for topping)
  • Blueberries or raspberries (for topping)
  • Granola (low-sugar variety recommended, for topping)
  • Chia seeds or hemp seeds (for topping)
  • Sliced almonds or walnuts (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: measure 2 cups fresh spinach, peel and slice banana if not frozen, and get frozen mango ready. Gather almond milk, Greek yogurt (if using), lemon juice, and sweetener.
  2. Add fresh spinach and frozen banana to blender. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until spinach breaks down and mixture is creamy.
  3. Add frozen mango chunks, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. Blend for 45-60 seconds until smooth and thick. Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk or frozen fruit as needed.
  4. Taste and add honey or maple syrup if sweeter flavor is desired. Blend for an additional 10 seconds.
  5. Pour smoothie base into a serving bowl, ensuring it is thick enough to hold toppings.
  6. Top with sliced strawberries, kiwi, berries, granola, chia seeds, and nuts.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use frozen fruit for a thick, ice-cream-like texture. Blend spinach first to avoid leafy chunks. Add liquid gradually to maintain a thick base that holds toppings well. Customize sweetness sparingly. Store smoothie base in fridge up to 24 hours; add toppings fresh before serving.
