Tropical Green Smoothie

I’ve been trying out a few different green smoothie recipes this week, and this one definitely hits the spot!  I love mangoes and peaches, and I decided to make it a little bit “tropical” style by adding banana and pineapple.  If you have any coconut water or milk, that would be a great addition, too! I actually had never had a green smoothie before this week, and I’m not really sure why I waited so long because they are awesome.  In fact, my week of green smoothie experimenting is actually kind of tempting me to turn every smoothie into a green smoothie!

Makes 3-4 Servings

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen mango cubes
• 1 cup frozen sliced peaches
• 1 banana
• 1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 1/2 cups water

Method:

1. Put all the ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth.
2. Divide evenly into glasses.
