Mango Spinach Smoothie

First time I liked a smoothie recipe with spinach :) Perfect as the base for a breakfast smoothie bowl with various toppings. I needed double the amount of liquid to get it to blend properly (used water instead of plantbased milk, personal taste preference).

So happy you enjoyed the green smoothie bowl, Annelies 💚 thanks for sharing your experience with it!

Delicious! I halved the amount of mylk as past PUL smoothie bowls have always been too liquidy.

I found this to be ultra nutritious but lightly flavoured. Ideal to add to breakfast bowls with things like fruit and granola where you need a more subtle flavour. As a stand alone smoothie to drink I feel there are more flavoursome ones in your list.

Delicious. I added protein powder and it was amazing

Refreshing, perfect for summer breakfast 💚 I made it with Greek yoghurt and it was delicious

I just made this today. I swapped soy for almond milk. This is the first time I've stuck to unsweetened ingredients, and I can taste the difference. I do want it a little sweeter, though. How do I do that without adding suger

Love this as a mid morning snack! I make it to drinkable consistency than a bowl. It is not too sweet. Fresh mangoes will definitely add more sweetness than frozen ones. It reminds me of aamras/lassi I grew up drinking during summers in India💖🥭

Oohh!! I was looking for this. Fresh mangoes for sweetness. Thanks, Pooja! Will that change the consistency?

Very refreshing at my first iftaar today. 🥭

This has becone one of my go-to smoothies! Easy ingredients to come by, filling and of course tasty!

Delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed mine sprinkled with granola and a few choc chips😋

Fantastic. Not too sweet, had to use cashew milk unsweetened yogurt, no soy available. Added fresh berries on top. Had energy for hours. Even though I had to really work the blender to process the compacted cup of spinach. It was still cold. I enjoyed this so much and it nourished my body so well I’m dreaming of a vitamix. I noticed other posts lessened the load on their machines by adding more liquid but it was really enjoyable spooned thick from a bowl.

An amazing snack

Delicious 💚 are smoothies ok to prep in advance? Say evening for the next morning? Or will it loose vitamins / fibers? Thank you 😊

PUL Team - Aug. 31, 2023, 7:13 a.m.

Hey there, Ma, smoothies tend to separate and slowly brown when stored so we'd recommend storing the smoothie ingredients unblended and blending closer to enjoying if possible for the freshest result 😊

Love love love this smoothie, it’s a classic!

Yum! Really tasty with some almond butter on top too!

Simple and refreshing! Too little liquid for my blender, though, so I added more milk!

Yummy!!!! Love it! I added a tad bit of ginger and swapped out the flax seeds for chia seeds. Omg!!!! I’m so happy this app is in my life!!

Okay made this as a smoothie bowl this time rather than drinkable smoothie. Made it as written and topped with some granola, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, banana and goji berries. WOWZA! It is delicious! The smoothie base is perfect as it’s not overpowering and is a perfect base for all your toppings. Creamy and delicious.

Woohoo! So thrilled the mango spinach smoothie was enjoyed, Tania - it means so much 🤩

Definitely add a banana otherwise it tastes a lot like soy. I added agave syrup and protein powder for taste 🙈

Hi, Saadia! I’m drinking from the smoothie right now and all I can say is this combination is DELICIOUUUUUS!! I also added half of banana per serving.

Thank you so much, hugs from Belgium!🤗❤️

Woohoo! Thanks a bunch, Andreea 🤗

Made this one into a drinkable smoothie. Bumped the almond milk to about 1/2-3/4 cup. I also added about 1/4 of frozen banana to give it a bit more sweetness. I think as a smoothie bowl it would be good as written, but as a drinkable smoothie I just needed a little something extra. I think I may add ginger too next time! Yum!

Thank you for sharing your experience with the smoothie bowl, Tania 😊

I love this with some extra protein powder, creamiest smoothie ever

I’m definitely trying out this smoothie bowl recipe I’ve tried a lot of your overnight oats recipes which were amazing. Also I wanted to know your thoughts on acai you haven’t made a video on that. A lot of the cafes in my area sell sweetened acai bowls and acai with guarana is it healthy or is it more of junk food. I was surprised to see on the box that it contains 21g carbohydrates in 100g serving so I’m guessing it’s filled with sugar I dunno I’m confused. Alls I know I’m addicted and crave it daily hopefully that’s not because of the sugar I’ve been trying to eat cleaner..

PUL Team - Oct. 16, 2022, 11:52 p.m.

Hi Nawal, acai is a delcious tropical fruit that offers natural sweetness and a variety of nutrients similar to other fruits. It is sometimes served sweetened with added sugars, such as in sweetened bowls or packaged products.

Here at PUL, we recommend whole food sources of sugar (such as those found naturally in fruit) above processed foods including added sugars or artificial sweeteners (such as a sweetened product), but this isn't to label either option as "good" or "bad". Instead, we can consider enjoying items in moderation rather than restrict or have either in excess. You can learn more about our philosophy in our guide to sugar if you haven't seen it already: pickuplimes.com/article/a-gui… Working with a healthcare professional, such as a dietitian, can also be incredibly helpful for personalized advice 🙂

Hi Saadia,

I tried making this today and it was delicious on a hot summer day in Arizona. I did modify to the recipe a bit with the plant-based ingredients and I feel this is going to be a staple from now on. Thank you.

Hey there, Caroline, it means so much - thank you! Hugs to Arizona 🤗

This was my first home made smoothie ever. I just did it now. It was delicious. I did only one serving and it wasn’t mixed perfectly. So with two serving it would catch/chop the ingredients a bit better (I use a Ninja). But it was 95% smooth. I used sweetened Greek yogurt and almond milk and it was delicious!

Thanks for the recipe.

We're so happy to hear the smoothie was enjoyed, Matthieu, thank you!

Bleh I added much to much spinach and it is basically spinach yoghurt, becareful with that

PUL Team - June 15, 2022, 3:49 a.m.

Hey Paulina, oh no! Did you use the portion of fresh spinach provided by the recipe?

I make this smoothie every week. Delicious breakfast. Just like eating a tropical ice cream for breakfast. Highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious!

Absolutely amazing!!

It's one of my favourite smoothies - creamy, rich and sooo mangoey! Yum <3

This recipe looks so good and I love the photos you shared here :)

This is one of my go-to smoothies and a great afternoon snack. I have also used coconut water as the liquid base instead of almond milk and it is equally as good.

So glad you're enjoying the smoothie, Justine, thanks for sharing your experience with it!

Wonderful recipe and one that inspired me to a more smoothie-type breakfasts

Perfect summer treat! And it makes getting some greens in to your diet a walk in the park, you can’t even taste it. Love the sweetness the mango adds to this smoothie recipe too.

I had my doubts about this smoothie recipe but it's now my go-to! I recommend anyone who's a fan of mangos to just try it out! I've also added bananas when I've had extra frozen ones lying around.

Pictures of bowls are a little misleading, one serving is a very small amount!

PUL Team - April 25, 2021, 1:38 a.m.

Thank you, K, for the feedback as it helps us improve and grow moving forward. If you watch the video for this recipe, you'll see that we used the same bowls as in the photos. Does it also seem too small there? In any case, we often find these smoothie bowls become much more filling based on the toppings added, such as granola, nuts, or fruit. We also have a new scaling feature at the top of the post, so you're always welcome to scale the recipe amount up in case you'd like a larger portion 😊 I hope this helps for now!

Nice, basic smoothie😁
The mango chunks give this smoothie a sweet and fresh feeling. It requires nevertheless toppings to be interesting and a complete meal

We appreciate the review, Louise! Toppings are definitely a wonderful addition :D

Loved this recipe! The spinach was not noticeable at all, and the mango and flaxseed combo gave it a sweet and vibrant flavor. Note that if you don't have any plant based yogurt on hand, subsituting it with 1/2 of a fresh banana works great.

PUL Team - April 3, 2021, 5:48 a.m.

Thanks for sharing the banana tip, H! So glad you enjoyed the smoothie 😃
