Why This Spinach Green Apple Smoothie is Worth Trying

This smoothie balances sweet, tart, and fresh flavors in a way that feels bright and clean. Spinach blends right in without overpowering, while green apple brings a crisp tang. Frozen mango adds natural sweetness and a creamy texture.

It’s quick to make, perfect for busy mornings, post-workout refreshment, or an afternoon pick-me-up. Plus, it’s rich in fiber, vitamins, and plant-based goodness, so every sip counts toward feeling your best.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (or dairy milk)
• 1 cup fresh baby spinach (loosely packed)
• 1 cup frozen mango chunks
• 1 medium green apple (cored and diced)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
• 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

Notes & Swaps:

• Use frozen mango for a thicker, colder smoothie. Fresh mango will make it lighter and thinner.
• Swap spinach for kale (remove stems) for a heartier green flavor.
• Add Greek yogurt or protein powder if you want extra protein.
• Choose oat, soy, or dairy milk for a nut-free version.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Add milk, spinach, mango, apple, and chia seeds (if using) to your blender.
2. Blend on high until completely smooth.
3. Taste, then add honey or maple syrup if you want extra sweetness. Blend again briefly.
4. Pour into glasses and serve immediately while it’s fresh and chilled.

Blending Tip: Start at a lower speed for a few seconds to help break down the greens, then switch to high for a creamy finish.

Pro Tips for the Best Smoothie

Using frozen fruit makes your smoothie thick and icy without watering it down. If you only have fresh fruit, toss in a few ice cubes.

Don’t be afraid to mix up the greens baby kale or even Swiss chard can work. For more staying power, blend in protein powder, hemp seeds, or yogurt.

If you have nut allergies, oat milk and soy milk keep the flavor creamy and mild without the nuts. Always serve right after blending for the brightest color and taste.
