The Beginner’s Luck Green Smoothie

This tropical treat is the perfect fruit-to-veggie ratio smoothie and is perfect for people who have never made green smoothies. Spinach is a mild vegetable and full of more than 20 different nutrients, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. It’s perfect for beginners to sneak in some greens that aren’t harsh in taste and rich in nutrients. For this recipe, you will need:

To make this recipe, freeze the bananas. Tightly pack two cups of kale into a measuring cup and toss them into a blender. Next, add water and blend until the leafy chunks are gone. Then add mango, pineapple, and bananas and blend until smooth.
