Why we love this Mango Spinach Smoothie
This mango spinach smoothie recipe only requires 3 ingredients. You can always add more healthy ingredients, like plant-based protein powder or hemp seeds. I have added some extra variations and additions lower down in this post.
My favorite tropical fruit is mango, which is why I really wanted it to be the main ingredient of this smoothie. The boost of vitamin C that you get from the mango makes it a great choice for any time of the day. The best part? You get all the goodness of a healthy green smoothie without any yogurt, which means the creamy smoothie is dairy free. Whether you prefer almond, soy milk, coconut milk or oat milk, this smoothie is a great choice if you love a thick creamy texture smoothie. If you eat a lighter breakfast (like I do), it’s a healthy meal or healthy snack option. It’s amazing how a few simple ingredients can make such a huge difference in our healthy eating habits.

Another good thing, the antioxidants in spinach help to protect your skin from damage from free radicals, which can cause wrinkles and other signs of aging.
