Ingredient notes

  • Mango – If using fresh mango, you’ll know it’s ripe by giving a gentle squeeze… there should be some give to the fruit when you hold it in your hand. The riper it is, the more fragrant the aroma!

This smooth and delicious fruit is loaded with nutrients, so you can feel good about adding it to this healthy green smoothie.
  • Fresh spinach – The light subtle flavor of garden fresh spinach blends easily with the other ingredients and flavors. Rich in nutrients and minerals like calcium, magnesium, vitamin A&C, just to name a few, ensure a balanced and healthy addition to your green smoothie and gives it that life affirming green color!
  • Mint leaves – This lively and invigorating herb not only gives this smoothie a clean and fresh flavor, it’s known to aid digestion as well. Mint elevates your senses and refreshes your mind and body!
  • Lime juice – Keeping it green, fresh and healthy with Vitamin C and antioxidants from this brightly flavored citrus fruit!
