Ingredients

  • 1 heaping cup frozen mangoes
  • 1 cup frozen peaches
  • Juice and some pulp from 1 navel orange
  • 2 medjool dates (remove pits and stems)
  • 2 big handfuls of spinach
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1/2 to 1 cup water, all-natural apple cider, or tropical fruit juice*
  • I also add a spray of my vitamin b12 spray to this, but that is optional.

* Find juices that have not been filtered and that do not contain added sugars or preservatives.

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients, except water or juice, to blender
  2. Add 1/2 cup water or juice and blend, if needed add additional liquid to blend until smooth.  The quality of your smoothie will depend on the power of your blender.  A lower powered blender may require extra liquid.

Notes

  • If you'd like this to be less sweet, remove the orange
  • This will make about 28-32 oz. of smoothie, depending on your appetite this may be too large. This shake is designed to be a meal replacement (or a substantial snack).
  • All frozen fruit is not made equal.  Quality (flavor) differs depending on brand and ripeness often varies by season.  I find that ethnic markets have the best fruits and frozen fruits.
  • A higher powered blender will make a better smoothie.
  • Try to keep your smoothies on the thicker side for a meal replacement.

Recommended blender: Vitamix 5200 (click link below)
