Notes

Spirulina powder – If you’ve never tried spirulina in a smoothie, I suggest starting with 1 teaspoon, taste, and then add an additional ½-1 tsp of powder depending on how you like the taste.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Freeze Your Fruit Strategically ❄️
Pre-freeze mango and banana chunks separately on a sheet tray before blending to create a creamy, frosty texture without diluting the smoothie with melting ice.
Dissolve Spirulina Properly 💚
Mix spirulina powder with a small amount of liquid first to create a smooth paste before adding other ingredients, preventing clumping and ensuring even distribution throughout the smoothie.
Balance Sweetness with Dates 🌟
Use medjool dates instead of maple syrup when possible—they add natural sweetness, creaminess, and additional fiber while creating a more sophisticated flavor profile than refined syrups.
Layer Ingredients for Optimal Blending 🥤
Add liquid first, then soft ingredients (yogurt, banana), followed by leafy greens and hard vegetables (kale, cucumber), with frozen fruit last to prevent jamming and ensure smooth blending.
Massage Kale Before Blending 🙌
Gently massage chopped kale with your fingers for 30 seconds before adding to the blender to break down cell walls, making it blend smoother and taste less bitter.
