The Best Green Smoothie
The best green smoothie you will ever eat!
Smoothies are a quick and easy breakfast that packs a delicious punch. One of my favorites is this tropical green smoothie. It is surely the best green smoothie! The sweet banana and mango blend up perfectly with non-dairy yogurt and almond milk to create the creamiest, most delicious breakfast. You won’t even taste the leafy greens!
The Secret To The Best Green Smoothie?
The secret to the best green smoothie is non-dairy yogurt. The acidy and fat in non-dairy yogurt balances the sweet, fruit flavor and make the smoothie extra creamy and filling. Additionally, most non-dairy yogurts contain live active cultures that support healthy digestion. Feel free to use your favorite brand. However, I suggest using the pain flavor.
A Powerful Punch Of Nutrition!
I love using Blender Bombs in smoothies. These plant-powered smoothie bombs are made with a combination of nuts, seeds, dates, and a little organic raw honey to make your smoothies extra filling and nutritious. They are packed with fiber, protein, and vitamins, and minerals. For the best green smoothie, I used the Aloe & Irish Sea Moss flavor.
Step 1: Start With The Base
First, add 1 cup of non-dairy milk to the blender. I prefer non-dairy milk as it makes the smoothie very creamy, but water or juice works well too. I use unsweetened almond milk as it pairs well with the other flavors.
Step 2: Add The Fruit
Second, add one frozen banana and a cup of frozen mango. The banana gives the smoothies a sweet vanilla + honey flavor and thick, creamy texture, while the mango adds floral notes. I prefer the flavor and texture of frozen fruit over fresh, but either works well.
Step 3: Make It Filling
Add non-dairy yogurt and a blender bomb for healthy fats and protein. Not only do these ingredients make the smoothie very creamy but filling too. I use coconut yogurt as I think the subtle coconut flavor complements the banana and mango, but feel free to use your favorite kind.
Step 4: Sneak In Veggies
Lastly, add leafy greens to make the smoothie nutritious. I used spinach as its subtle flavor is masked by the sweet fruit, but kale and chard will work well too. I also added a small thumb of fresh ginger for a little kick.
& that’s it! 7 ingredients, one bowl, and 10 minutes for the best green smoothie!
