1

the remaining ingredients and blend again.
Notes
Use frozen mango to make a refreshingly cool smoothie.
Boost this smoothie with one serving of plant-based protein powder to help your body more easily process the natural fruit sugars.
The stems of parsley are bitter and harder to blend smoothly. Use just leaves to make blending easier.
Swap spinach with the leafy green of your choice.
