Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups collard greens stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
- 1.5 cups frozen mango chunks provides a thick, creamy texture
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut water or plain water for a lighter taste
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain and unsweetened
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds for added healthy fats and protein
- 1 tsp fresh lime juice adds brightness and cuts the earthiness of the greens
- 0.5 tsp honey optional, to taste
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with almond or coconut yogurt. To make ahead, portion the greens, mango, and ginger into freezer bags; just add liquid and blend when ready. Store leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours, though separation may occur.
