Notes
- Using ripe green mangoes ensures the smoothie has a tangy but not too sour flavor.
- Full-fat coconut milk adds creaminess and richness; you can substitute with almond or oat milk for a lighter version.
- Spinach or kale can be interchanged depending on your preference; kale will give a stronger green color but slightly more bitterness.
- Adjust sweeteners based on your taste or dietary needs; maple syrup is vegan, honey is not.
- Consume immediately to enjoy freshness and prevent oxidation of greens.
- Add ice cubes if you want a colder, thicker smoothie bowl texture.
