FAQs

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

Yes, but you may want to add ice cubes to chill and thicken the smoothie if using fresh fruit.

Is the spinach taste strong?

Not at all. The sweetness of the mango and pineapple masks the flavor of the spinach, making it kid- and veggie-wary-friendly.

Can I prep this smoothie in advance?

You can portion the ingredients and freeze them in smoothie bags. When ready, just add liquid and blend.

Is this smoothie vegan?

Yes, it’s completely plant-based as long as you use dairy-free milk or coconut water.

What’s the best liquid to use?

Almond milk keeps it creamy and neutral, while coconut water adds natural electrolytes and a light tropical note.

Can I add yogurt for extra creaminess?

Yes, you can add a spoonful of vegan yogurt or Greek yogurt if you’re not strictly dairy-free.

How do I make it more filling?

Add oats, nut butter, chia seeds, or protein powder for more staying power.

Is it okay to drink green smoothies every day?

Yes, green smoothies are a great way to boost your intake of fruits and veggies. Just rotate your greens to vary nutrients.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Yes, pour leftovers into ice cube trays, freeze, and re-blend with a bit of liquid when ready to enjoy again.

What if I don’t have a high-speed blender?

You can still make it—just blend in stages, starting with the spinach and liquid to ensure smooth results.
