Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 ripe mango
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe avocado, 1 ripe mango, 1 cup of fresh spinach, 1 cup of coconut water, and 1 tablespoon of honey (if desired).
- Carefully cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender. Make sure to use a ripe avocado for a creamy texture.
- Next, peel the ripe mango. Cut the flesh away from the pit and chop it into smaller pieces before adding it to the blender. A ripe mango will add natural sweetness and a tropical flavor to the smoothie.
- Add 1 cup of fresh spinach to the blender. This will provide a nutrient boost without overpowering the flavor of the smoothie.
- Pour in 1 cup of coconut water. This will add hydration and a subtle sweetness to the smoothie, making it refreshing.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1 tablespoon of honey to the blender. This step is optional, depending on your taste preferences.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your blender.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more coconut water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, and if desired, garnish with a slice of mango or a sprig of spinach for presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Avocado and Mango Green Smoothie!
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe fruits: Select avocados and mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure for maximum sweetness and creaminess.
- Temperature matters: For an extra refreshing smoothie, use chilled coconut water or add a few ice cubes while blending.
- Customize your nutrition: Feel free to add a scoop of protein powder, chia seeds, or a handful of almonds for an extra nutritional punch.
- Blending technique: Start blending at a low speed and gradually increase to high to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Meal prep friendly: You can prepare the ingredients the night before and store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for a quick morning blend.
- Sweetness control: Adjust honey to taste, or use alternative sweeteners like agave nectar or a few dates for natural sweetness.
