Can I make a bigger batch?

Yes! This recipe is really easy to multiply by however many servings you need. Keep in mind your blender only fits so much, and it will be harder to blend everything if it's too packed so it's a good idea to work in batches.

Is this enough for a meal?

Yes, you can have this for breakfast. Make sure to add protein powder and healthy fats like almond butter to keep you full longer. I make this on days when I'm in a rush and want a light breakfast.

Can I make this smoothie ahead?

No, smoothies don't keep well in general so I recommend always making your smoothie right before serving. If you have to, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for a few hours.

Does the smoothie have too much sugar? Is it healthy?

Fruit naturally has a lot of sugar. The smoothie still contains all the fiber which makes it different from a juice. If you want to cut some of the carbs, skip the orange juice and add water instead. You could also peel and chop one orange and add it to the smoothie instead of the juice!

Instructions

1. Add coconut milk, orange juice, baby spinach, frozen mango, frozen banana, and protein powder (if using) into a high-speed blender. I always recommend adding liquids and leafy greens first to help everything blend better.

1. Blend on high until smooth. Add more liquid if needed. If you're making a smoothie bowl, add less liquid at first and add more after blending if needed to keep the smoothie thicker.

1. Serve the smoothie immediately in a tall glass or in a bowl with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing: I don't recommend storing the smoothie; it's best served right away. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 1 day.
The recipe makes 1 serving if it's made as a meal or up to 4 servings if made as a light snack.
Nutritional information is measured without protein powder because they are all different.
