- Mango: frozen mango makes this smoothie sweet and so creamy
- Frozen zucchini slices: hidden veggies you will never taste but adds bulk, nutrients, and creaminess to the smoothie
- Frozen spinach: extra hidden veggies and nutrients
- Ground flaxseed: to boost the nutrition and add extra fiber

- Collagen peptides: adds unflavored protein with the benefits of collagen peptides
- Spirulina: a superfood that gives this smoothie its green glow and is rich in vitamins and antioxidants
Recipe Tips:
- Smoothies always need toppings in my opinion so top with cereal, granola, coconut flakes, or any of your favorites
- If you are vegan leave out the collagen peptides and use a whole scoop of vanilla protein
- The frozen fruit and veggies keep this smoothie thick and creamy
- If you don’t have flaxseed feel free to skip or substitute hemp seeds or chia seeds
- If you don’t have spirulina you can leave it out, but it adds nutrition and makes the green smoothie so vibrant
- I use canned light coconut milk or you can use 1 cup coconut milk from a carton and reduce the water
