The ingredients list here is so simple. It’s made with frozen banana slices, pineapple and mango chunks, greens (you can use spinach or kale), and coconut water.
I highly recommend using frozen fruit for your smoothie. It creates the perfect thick and icy consistency. It’s just not quite the same with fresh fruits.
