Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh Tulsi (Holy Basil) leaves loosely packed, stems removed
- 1.5 cups frozen mango chunks provides natural sweetness and creaminess
- 1 cup baby spinach washed and dried
- 1.5 cups coconut water unsweetened
- 0.5 piece fresh ginger peeled, about 1/2 inch
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds for healthy fats and protein
- 1 tsp fresh lime juice to brighten the herbal flavors
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional, for a frostier texture
Notes
If you cannot find fresh Tulsi, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of Tulsi powder or the concentrated liquid from 2 steeped and cooled Tulsi tea bags. This smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be stored in an airtight mason jar for up to 12 hours. Shake well before drinking as natural separation may occur.
