Mango Avocado Green Smoothie

A super green Mango Avocado Green Smoothie recipe made with spinach, mango, avocado and banana for a crazy thick and creamy start to your day!!

Now, this is a green smoothie!

This Mango Avocado Green Smoothie is completely gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan too and is the perfect filling breakfast or afternoon snack.

Made in just a few minutes with the help of your blender/food processor/smoothie-making tool, you’ll be craving this avocado-based smoothie each and every day.

But seriously, have you ever put avocado in your smoothie?! Game changer!! Avocado makes your green smoothie so thick, super smooth and extra delicious. I thought for the looooongest time that it was the weirdest thing to do but I am officially hooked now!!

I mean, how can you say no to a healthy fat-packed, super filling and totally tropical tasting glass of green goodness?

You can substitute any leafy green as the base of your smoothie but my go-to smoothie green is always baby spinach. It’s mild in flavour and tender in texture that I promise you won’t even know if was there… other than that beauty green colour. But seriously you can’t even taste it!!

And I must say again – total game changer! The smoothest, creamiest smoothie going thanks to everyone’s favourite avo.  The avocado – we’re using half of a smallish ripe avocado here – does make this smoothie thick, and luscious and totally delicious. Other than the super thick texture, you wouldn’t even know it was there!

And then the good part – those tropical fruits!! Mango, banana, orange. I prefer mango here but any tropical flavoured fruit will do, like pineapple or a combination of the two! The mango together with some tangy orange and, my smoothie staple, a frozen banana tastes just like a tropical paradise! Especially with a little squeeze of honey for extra sweetness.

Lately, I’ve been bulking my smoothies up with a couple of key mix-ins. I haven’t been feeling particularly hungry for breakfast or real food in the mornings lately so I rely on my smoothies to do the trick until lunchtime. My go-to add-ins have been a tablespoon or two of ground flaxseed, a teaspoon of maca powder, and a scoop of vanilla-flavoured protein powder. (Sometimes I even go with a teaspoon of omega-3 fish oil, vitamin D drops and a scoop of either an immunity booster or a vitamin B-complex powder if I am feeling like I really need a super smoothie.) All, any or none of these add-ins will yield a fantastically green (and tasty) smoothie.

Cheers to a perfectly green smoothie for breakfast, afternoon snack or just because!
