Start off your morning with a glass full of this tropical fruit and spinach green smoothie!  This healthy spinach smoothie recipe is loaded with antioxidants, superfood ingredients, over 9 grams of fiber and more than 100% of your daily Vitamin C to keep you full until lunch.

Holiday eating always brings with it a bit too much sugar, carbs, and bad-for-you foods.

Spinach, turmeric, spirulina, and fish oil will all be found in this tropical fruit and vegetable smoothie.

Spinach Smoothie to the Post-Holiday Rescue!

After days — if not weeks! — of unhealthy eating over the Christmas holidays, our bodies are ready to detox.

And no, I am not talking about those typical “detox diets” that have been trending recently.

All it takes is a fruit and veggie smoothie to get your body going into detox gear.

Do Spinach Smoothies Taste Good?

I thought you might ask.

I was definitely a skeptic when I first heard about making a fruit and vegetable smoothie.

How in the world could those ingredients possibly combine to form a palatable taste?!

But you know what?  Green smoothies actually taste ah-maaaaazing.

The fruit in a green smoothie helps to sweeten up the bitterness of whatever green vegetable you are using.

It’s like fruit and veggie smoothie MAGIC.

What Greens Go into a Green Smoothie Recipe?

Spinach is the mildest of the greens and I encourage you to start with it if this is your first green smoothie experience.

If you are feeling a little more adventurous, try adding a bit of kale or mustard greens to your green smoothie.

The recipe below for a tropical fruit and spinach green smoothie is a perfect beginner’s green smoothie recipe!

What are the Benefits of a Healthy Spinach Green Smoothie?

Ahhh… there are so many!

You will get:

• Loads of antioxidants from the mango, pineapple, and spinach.
• Healthy oils from the fish oil.
• Anti-inflammatory properties from the turmeric.
• A boost of potassium from the banana.
• Extra fiber from the flaxseed meal.

Which Blender is the Best for Making Smoothies?

You can use just about any blender or food process you want to make smoothies, but here are a few of my personal favorites:

• NutriBullet Pro – cleanup is a breeze with individual blending cups! <– My fave!
• Vitamix – a bit more expensive, but creates super smooth smoothies.
• Food processor – not my first pick, but is great for making large batches of smoothies.
