- 2 to 3 cups chard leaves (loosely packed)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup frozen mango (add more for a sweeter smoothie)
Dairy & Alternatives
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
Additional Ingredients
- 3 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
- Water (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather 2 to 3 cups of loosely packed chard leaves, 1 frozen banana, 1 cup of frozen mango, 3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, and 1 cup almond milk. These fresh and frozen components form the base of the smoothie.
- Blend Everything: Place all ingredients, including the chard leaves, frozen banana, frozen mango, shredded coconut, and almond milk, into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add water as needed to adjust the consistency to your preference.
- Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste your smoothie and make any necessary adjustments—add more mango or banana for sweetness, or more almond milk or water for a thinner texture. Blend briefly again if you add anything extra.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit to achieve a cold, creamy texture without needing ice.
- Chard is packed with vitamins but can have a strong flavor—adjust quantity to preference.
- Substitute almond milk with any milk of choice including dairy or other plant-based options.
- Adding water helps control smoothie thickness for easier drinking.
- Optional: Add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra nutrition.
