Ingredients and Substitutions
- Mango - I used frozen mango for this smoothie, but fresh works.
- Avocado - Like in my chocolate avocado smoothie, avocado provides a creamy texture and healthy fats.
- Banana - Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. If you prefer a banana-free smoothie, try using pineapple or 2-3 dates instead.
- Spinach - Packed with vitamins and minerals, and adds a vibrant green color. You can swap it with kale or Swiss Chard.
- Plant-based milk - I used homemade almond milk, but you can also use oat milk, coconut milk, or soy milk. For a lighter version, use coconut water.
- Ground flaxseed - Adds fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. You can use chia seeds as an alternative.
- Lemon juice - Adds a zesty brightness that enhances the flavor and helps preserve the vibrant color of the smoothie. You can replace it with lime juice for a similar tangy taste.
As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.

Marinela's Tips
- Use frozen fruit: For a thicker, creamier texture, use frozen mango and/or banana instead of fresh. This also helps keep the smoothie cold without needing ice.
- Meal prep option: For busy mornings, prep your ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge. Just blend in the morning.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste your smoothie before serving and adjust the sweetness by adding more banana, a splash of maple syrup, or a few dates if needed.
- Adjust thickness: For a thinner smoothie, add more liquid. For a thicker smoothie, use less liquid or add more frozen fruit.
