Healthy Mango Smoothie Recipe... and it's delicious!

Hi there, I'm Jen from Simple Green Smoothies, where I'm on a mission to help you fill up your body with plant-based goodness, drink your greens so that you can feel your best. And today we are going to make a recipe called Mango Orange Madness. Now this is a mango smoothie recipe that is super simple to make. It's super delicious, like I think even your kids are gonna love it. And we're gonna do it in under five minutes. So let's get started. All right, now we're gonna take our two cups of spinach and put it into the blender. And to measure two cups of spinach, I just like to grab handfuls. So two good-sized handfuls is about two cups of spinach. So put that in the blender, and it's gonna fill it up a lot, but don't be scared. We're gonna be cutting the green taste with lots of mangoes, lots of oranges, and it's gonna be delicious. So all right, now we're gonna add in our orange. So we're gonna peel the orange, but we can leave some of the pith on it, which is the white part, because that's where it has most of the vitamin C. So just kind of peel around that and throw it in the blender. It'll do the rest of the work for you. And now we're gonna add in two cups of unsweetened coconut water. And this is where I want you to stop, put the blender top on, and blend right now. So we've only added half the ingredients, but it's really important to pause now and blend your leafy greens with some liquid to help get rid of any chunks you have. And we like to do this with standard blenders that aren't high-powered. If you're using a Vitamix or a Blendtec or something with a little more oomph, you're not gonna have to do this step. But for using most blenders, this is important to get rid of leafy chunks because no one wants that in their smoothie. Now that we've got a really creamy green base, we're gonna add in more of the fruits. So let's add in that one cup of mango, and we're using frozen mango because it chills down your smoothie. It's also already peeled and cut for you, so it makes it super simple and quick to do this recipe. And then we're also gonna add in one banana. So put those in, blend it up, and we are gonna have a creamy, green, delicious smoothie in our hands in just a minute. So this recipe makes about two servings, and really, it can fit into two mason jars, which are each about 16 ounces. So you're gonna get about 32 ounces of plant power right here in this smoothie.
