Ingredients

  • ½ cup frozen strawberries or raspberries
  • ½ cup frozen diced mango
  • ½ cup sliced frozen banana (or ½ cup Greek yogurt)
  • ½ cup fresh spinach leaves, optional
  • ½ cup coconut water, more as needed
  • ½ teaspoon minced ginger root, optional

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a blender; blend at high speed until smooth. Adjust consistency: if it’s too thick, add a little more coconut water. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
    ½ cup frozen strawberries or raspberries, ½ cup frozen diced mango, ½ cup sliced frozen banana, ½ cup fresh spinach leaves, optional, ½ cup coconut water, more as needed, ½ teaspoon minced ginger root, optional
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Coconut water: You'll find coconut water on grocery store shelves. Pink coconut water is less processed and it has a more robust flavor, so many people prefer it to the clear varieties. Coconut water is shelf-stable but should be refrigerated after opening. Coconut water is not the same as canned coconut milk.
  • Try different fruits. You may use different combinations of fruit. You’ll want about 1 ½  cups of frozen fruit.
  • Make ahead: Freeze 1 ½ cup portions of frozen fruit in small freezer bags. Then, when you're ready for a smoothie, you'll just need to add the coconut water to your blender and dump in the frozen fruit, and spinach if desired. 
  • Nutrition note: Nutrition information is for a smoothie made with strawberries, and includes spinach and ginger root.
