Ingredients

½ cup water
½ large frozen banana
1 cup frozen mango
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
1 heaping cup fresh baby spinach (1 huge handful)
¼ cup orange juice (optional; but so good!)
½ inch fresh ginger , peeled (optional)

Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. There should be no visible specks of leafy greens when you're done!
If the smoothie is too thick, add another 2 tablespoons of water, and blend again until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve right away for the best flavor and texture.
If you have any leftovers, the leftover smoothie can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but it will not taste quite as delicious the next day. I prefer freezing any leftovers into mini popsicle molds for a frozen treat later.

Notes

Nutrition information is for the whole batch. This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.

For a lower-sugar smoothie, you can replace the orange juice with water or milk, but it won't taste quite as delicious that way. You can also omit the ginger, if you're not a fan.
