    I’ve never made a smoothie with greens in it because I’m always skeptical that I’ll really like it. I’ve heard you can’t even taste them, so I really should try it. Love the tropical flavors here! 🙂

      I’ve had a few really good ones, and a few REALLY bad ones. This is a great gateway smoothie if you’re looking to go green 🙂

    If you substitute the coconut milk for coconut water, it tastes just like the Tropical Greens smoothie from Whole Foods! It’s also a lot healthier! 🙂

    this sounds delicious. do the mangoes have to be frozen? we have them fresh here in India most of the year.

      Hi Ummi. No, they don’t have to be frozen. Using frozen ingredients really just helps give the smoothie and icier texture. Fresh will work just fine 🙂 You could also chop up a fresh mango and freeze it over night.

    I am having difficulty finding smoothie recipes without banana. I am allergic. What would you suggest to use in place of it that would give it that same consistency? I am assuming that it thickens and that is why it is in EVERYTHING. Don’t get me wrong…I love bananas, but they don’t love me.
    Thank you for your assistance,
    Teresa

      Hi Teresa. For this recipe in particular you could just add an extra 1/3 cup of frozen mango 🙂
