Instructions

1. 1
   Set Up Ingredients

   Gather spinach, mango, pineapple, coconut water, banana, and ice, then set out a blender, knife, cutting board, measuring jug, and cups. · 1 min

   What to look for: All ingredients and tools are on the counter.

2. 2
   Prepare The Fruit

   Peel and slice the banana, cut mango and pineapple into chunks if needed, and rinse the spinach well to remove any grit. · 5 min

   What to look for: Fruit is in even chunks and spinach looks bright green.

3. 3
   Load The Blender

   Pour coconut water into the blender first, then add spinach, mango, pineapple, banana, and ice so the blades catch liquid quickly. · 2 min

   What to look for: Liquid sits at the bottom and fruit rests above the greens.

4. 4
   Blend Until Smooth

   Blend on high until the drink is silky green with no visible spinach flecks, stopping once to scrape the sides if needed. · 2 min

   What to look for: Smoothie is glossy, even, and bright green.

5. 5
   Check The Texture

   Check the texture, then blend 15 seconds more if you want it smoother; the smoothie should pour slowly but not mound in the cup. · 1 min

   What to look for: Texture is pourable and uniform.

6. 6
   Serve It Cold

   Pour into 2 glasses and serve at once while the smoothie is cold, glossy, and bright green with a tropical mango pineapple aroma. · 1 min

   What to look for: Glasses are filled with a cold green smoothie.
