Island Green Smoothie
We’re big smoothie people! We have an entire pantry shelf full protein and supplement powders, chia seeds, hemp hearts, and every other topping you can think of! This Island Green smoothie is a go to favorite of ours. I tried a similar one with the kids at Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and I honestly didn’t expect the kids to love it the way they do.
I figure rather than spend $6 every time, just make them at home! We’ve added a couple optional adjustments of our own too.
Ingredients
- approx 7 ice cubes
- approx 1.5 cups water (can add more or less on consistency preferances)
- 3 handfuls (approx 3 cups) raw spinach
- 1-2 kale leaves stalk not included
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1.5 cups frozen mango
- 1 – 1.5 fresh banana
- 1 Tbls hemp hearts (optional)
- chia seeds to top/mix in after (optional)
***TIP*** Start with the ice, water and leafy greens first (this will help ensure enough space for everything with the frozen fruits weighing the greens down 👍🏽
NEXT add all ingredients (+ hemp hearts if using) into a high speed blender, and blend until smooth. You may need to add more water if you like the consistency thinner.
