Then add the softer ingredients; in this case yogurt and spinach. Lastly, add the frozen or whole ingredients. This just helps things blend the best. Stick the lid on and blend. If you have a Blendtec, simply hit the smoothie button and 40 seconds later you will have this…

    Im so happy I came across this recipe! This is a seriously good smoothie 😊👌🏻 Thanks!!

  2. The smoothies look delicious and making baggies of fruit in advance is wonderful.

  3. Bought my Blendtec 2 years ago to get more greens in my 16 year old son. He loves them. I have made that recipe except using peaches instead of mango. Absolutely going to try it with mango.

    1. I still use my Blendtec like every day! Glad you are enjoying yours, Debbie, and the green smoothies you are making for your family! You’ll love this recipe with mango!

  4. We love smoothies, and my blender (a Walmart Oster) literally just went up in smoke! I’m hoping for this one! Your recipe looks delicious, although it might take some convincing to get my husband to try a green-colored smoothie.

    1. Oh no, sorry to hear about your blender! This green smoothie is mostly fruit and hardly any spinach, it’s a gentle transition into greener smoothies. 🙂

  5. Yay for a new blender! Green smoothies are my favorite! Love everything you put in this one, it looks so refreshing and delicious!

    1. Definitely not as healthy as your smoothies Kelly, but I’m taking baby steps to put more greens and healthy stuff in there 😉

  6. We are totally on the same smoothie wavelength! I just made a green smoothie yesterday that was basically identical to what you’ve got going on here—YAY for green smoothies and great blenders right?!

    1. I’m taking baby steps to more greens in my smoothies, but this was dang good! Glad we’re smoothie sisters!

    1. Thank you Melinda! It’s quite delicious!

  7. Thank you for the chance to win, and for the introduction to your website, too! I’m looking forward to your recipes!

    1. Thanks Chris! Good luck and enjoy the recipes!
