This vibrant, antioxidant-rich smoothie combines the potent vitamin C of amla (Indian gooseberry) with leafy greens and tropical fruit for a refreshing energy boost. It is a nutrient-dense breakfast option designed to support immunity and skin health.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups baby spinach fresh and tightly packed
- 1 tsp amla powder or 2 fresh amla berries, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks provides natural sweetness and creamy texture
- 0.5 cup cucumber peeled and sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1.5 cups coconut water unsweetened
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds for plant-based protein
- 1 tsp honey optional, or use one medjool date
Notes
Storage: Best consumed immediately for peak nutrient density, but can be stored in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking. Substitution: If you don't have mango, pineapple works beautifully to mask the slightly bitter profile of amla. Make-ahead: Prep the dry ingredients and fruit in a freezer bag for a quick blend-and-go morning.
