Mango does the heavy lifting here: sweet, aromatic and silky, it hides the spinach almost completely. Cooled green tea adds a delicate, slightly grassy note that keeps the smoothie from tasting too sweet.

Spinach Mango Smoothie with Green Tea
Sweet and tropical, silky mango with a light green tea note and a smooth texture.
Green tea is a light, refreshing base for fruit smoothies, and it contains a moderate amount of caffeine. Brewed not too strong, it adds a subtle tea flavour that pairs well with mango. Mangoes contain vitamin C and provitamin A and give the smoothie its colour and body, helped by half a banana. Baby spinach contributes a mild green note.
The smoothie is sweet and tropical, a good start to the day or a pick-me-up in the early afternoon.
Yes, green tea contains caffeine, though less than coffee.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes, frozen mango chunks make the smoothie thicker and colder.
