I love this smoothie. Then again, I love just about any smoothie with mango in it. I freeze as much fresh mango as I can in summer to enjoy this anytime through the year. This smoothie regularly scores 9 and 10.
If you have a very efficient blender just add everything in at the one time. Otherwise blend your smoothie in 2 stages making your nut milk first and then adding the other ingredients.
In place of the water and almonds, you can use prepared almond milk, plain filtered water or even coconut water.
Blend first
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup almonds (soaked for about 6 hrs min if possible)
Then add
- 1 cup mango (frozen)
- Cinnamon, salt and vanilla
- 2 cup spinach leaves (or any combination of mild greens)
- 1 tbsp chopped mint leaves
Ice and extra water to get your desired temperature and consistency
