Taste
Sweet and tangy with a tropical mango note and a fresh green finish; smooth.
About this smoothie
Mango is a popular partner for leafy greens because its sweetness and creamy flesh cover the grassy taste of spinach. Kiwi adds acidity and freshness, and kiwis are rich in vitamin C. The result is a balanced green smoothie that tastes more of fruit than of leaves and needs no sweetener. It is light, since water is the only liquid, and fits breakfast or a post-workout snack.
Bartender tips
Use the other mango half for a second smoothie or freeze it in cubes.
For a creamier drink, add half a banana.
Variations
With coconut water
Replace the water with coconut water for a light tropical note.
