Ingredients

-1 cup frozen mango

-2 cups filtered water

-1 ripe banana (frozen or fresh)

-3 celery stalks

-1/2 cucumber

-2 apples (any kind)

-1-2 handfuls of spinach (can also use kale, but I don't find it breaks down as well)

-1 head of romaine

-Juice from 1/2 lemon

-Handful of fresh mint

Substitutions

With so many ingredients, it's easy to use some substitutions and still create a smoothie with the same effect! This is meant to be easy, so don't get too caught up in following the recipe exactly. Here are some ingredients you could swap out:

-Frozen pineapple instead of mango

-If you don't have celery, double up on the cucumber

-Kale instead of spinach

-Lime instead of lemon

-One apple instead of two, apple and a pear or two pears

-Mint isn't necessary, but I love the flavor it adds

-Coconut water instead of regular water (adds an extra hit of electrolytes, but make sure to buy pure coconut water with no added sugar)

-If I don't have romaine I just add extra spinach

‍

Blend on high for a couple minutes until smooth. This recipe makes enough for two, and if you're finding you can't fit everything in the blender add the spinach and romaine after you blend the rest of the ingredients down a bit. If you're making the night before, separation is normal, just remember to shake before enjoying! Best enjoyed on an empty stomach for optimal digestion, wait 15 minutes (or longer) and have breakfast as you normally would!
