Green Smoothie That Actually Tastes Good

The problem with most green smoothies is proportion. People throw in two handfuls of spinach, half a banana and call it done. Then they wonder why it tastes like a salad in a glass. The rule is simple: two parts fruit, one part greens. The fruit covers the taste of the greens entirely, and you still get all the nutrients.

Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana
• 1 cup frozen mango chunks
• 1 cup fresh spinach (loosely packed)
• 1 cup coconut water or almond milk
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Add the liquid first, then the spinach, then the frozen fruit. This order matters — it prevents air pockets that make blending uneven. Blend on high for 60 seconds until completely smooth. Drink immediately.
