A vibrant spinach-based blend topped with granola and fresh fruit for a nourishing breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed
02 - 1 frozen banana, sliced
03 - 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
04 - 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
05 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

→ Toppings

09 - 1/2 cup granola, gluten-free if needed

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a high-speed blender, combine spinach, frozen banana, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, almond milk, chia seeds, nut butter, and honey or maple syrup. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add additional almond milk to reach desired consistency.

03 - Top each bowl with granola, fresh fruit, shredded coconut, and additional seeds as desired.
04 - Serve immediately with a spoon.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but makes you feel energized, not sluggish—that's the quiet magic right there.
  • You can have it ready in less time than it takes to shower, yet it feels fancy enough for company.
  • The texture play of creamy base and crunchy toppings keeps your mouth interested with every spoonful.
02 -
  • If you blend too long or add the milk too early, you end up with something watery instead of scoopable—it's a texture game, so go easy on the liquid and add only what you need.
  • Using truly frozen fruit instead of fresh makes all the difference; room-temperature spinach blended with unfrozen mango creates disappointment masquerading as breakfast.
  • Granola added at the last second stays gloriously crunchy for the first few minutes, but if you want it to soften slightly and absorb flavor, let it sit in the bowl for a minute before eating.
03 -
  • Freeze your own fruit when it's on sale—sliced bananas and homemade fruit chunks give you more control and save money compared to pre-packaged frozen options.
  • Keep your blender pitcher in the freezer before blending so the smoothie stays colder longer and the texture stays perfect for the whole bowl.
