Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup packed frozen spinach)
  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 scoop plant-based protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 to 1 1/4 cups liquid (unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or coconut water)
  • Optional add-ins: 1 scoop collagen peptides or 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (not vegan), 1/2 banana for extra creaminess, a squeeze of lime, or a small piece of fresh ginger
  • Optional sweetener: 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or a date if you prefer it sweeter

Instructions
 

  • Add liquids first. Pour your milk or coconut water into the blender. This helps the blades catch the ingredients smoothly.
  • Layer the greens. Add the spinach next so it blends into a silky base.
  • Add fruit and boosters. Toss in the frozen mango, pineapple, chia seeds, and protein powder. Add any optional extras.
  • Blend until smooth. Start low, then increase to high for 30–60 seconds. If it’s too thick, add a splash more liquid; if too thin, add a few extra frozen chunks.
  • Taste and adjust. Add a pinch of salt to sharpen flavors, a squeeze of lime for brightness, or a touch of sweetener if needed.
  • Serve immediately. Pour into a chilled glass or to-go cup and enjoy.
