# What You'll Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed
02 - 1 frozen banana, sliced
03 - 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
04 - 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
05 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
06 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

→ Toppings

09 - 1/2 cup granola, gluten-free if needed
10 - 1/2 cup mixed fresh fruit such as kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, banana slices
11 - 1 tablespoon shredded coconut, optional
12 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds or hemp seeds, optional

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine spinach, frozen banana, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, almond milk, chia seeds, nut butter, and honey or maple syrup in a high-speed blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, adding more almond milk if mixture is too thick to reach desired consistency.
02 - Pour the blended smoothie base evenly into two serving bowls. Arrange granola, fresh fruit, shredded coconut, and additional seeds on top as desired. Serve immediately with spoons while still thick and cold.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The frozen fruit creates an incredibly thick, ice cream-like texture without needing any dairy
  • You can prep everything in under 10 minutes and feel like you've started your day with something truly nourishing
02 -
  • If your smoothie base is too thin, it won't hold up the toppings—err on the side of less liquid and add more only if your blender is struggling
  • The key to that thick, soft-serve texture is using frozen fruit—fresh fruit will leave you with a thin, watery mixture that won't satisfy
03 -
  • Pack your spinach leaves into the measuring cup rather than leaving them loose for the most accurate measurement
  • Start with less sweetener than you think you need—the frozen fruit adds plenty of natural sweetness on its own
