Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 leaves fresh kaffir lime leaves center ribs removed and finely minced
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks provides sweetness and creaminess
- 1 medium banana ripe or frozen
- 2 cups baby spinach packed
- 1.5 cups coconut water unsweetened
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice for added brightness
- 0.5 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 0.25 cup full-fat coconut milk for a richer texture
Notes
If you cannot find fresh kaffir lime leaves, you can use 1 teaspoon of lime zest plus a drop of lemongrass extract, though the flavor profile will change. This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours—shake well before drinking. For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder.
