Frozen mango chunks
Fresh or frozen pineapple
Cucumber (peeled and chopped)
Spinach or kale (a small handful)
Avocado
Chia seeds or ground flaxseed
Coconut water or unsweetened almond milk
Fresh lemon juice
Honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Ice cubes (if using fresh fruit)

Directions

I add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender.
I blend on high until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
I taste and adjust the sweetness with honey or maple syrup if I want, then pour into a glass and enjoy right away.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1–2 servings.
It takes about 5 minutes to prepare from start to finish.

Variations

I sometimes add a small chunk of fresh ginger for a little zing or toss in a few slices of banana for natural sweetness. When I want extra protein, I add a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder. I also love using frozen zucchini or cauliflower for a creamier, low-sugar option.

Storage/Reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but I can store it in a covered jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I shake it well before drinking. I don’t recommend freezing it, as the texture and color can change. Glowing Skin Smoothie
