Ingredients for Your Tropical Green Powerhouse
2 large handfuls of fresh spinach (approx. 80-100g)
100 ml cold coconut water (or more/less, depending on desired thickness)
1 scoop of clear vegan whey protein powder with pineapple flavor (e.g. from @myproteinnl, or another plant-based protein powder)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for an extra flavor dimension)
Necessary Kitchen Utensils
A powerful blender
Preparation method: Mix & Enjoy!
Preparation: Make sure the mango and pineapple are thoroughly frozen; this creates the thick, creamy texture of the smoothie. Peel the ginger and finely chop it.
Blend Everything: Place all the ingredients – the fresh spinach, the piece of ginger, the frozen mango, the frozen pineapple, the coconut water, the vegan whey protein powder and the vanilla extract – into your high-powered blender.
Blend to Perfection: Blend everything on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Thickness tip: Start with 100 ml of coconut water. For a thicker smoothie (bowl consistency) , add less coconut water. For a more fluid, drinkable smoothie , gradually add more coconut water until the desired consistency is reached. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Serve & Enjoy: Pour your delicious, energizing Tropical Green Smoothie into a glass or bowl and enjoy immediately.
Tips & Variations: Make Your Smoothie Unique!
Extra Nutrients: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for extra omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
Even Greener: For a more intense green color and more minerals, add a small piece of cucumber or a few kale leaves.
Natural Sweetness: If you like your smoothie a little sweeter, add a date or a dash of maple syrup (in moderation!).
Ice cubes: Want an extra cold smoothie? Add a few ice cubes while blending.
Toppings (for a smoothie bowl): For a complete meal, pour this smoothie into a bowl and top with granola, coconut flakes, fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries), or cacao nibs.
