- 1/2 banana
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- filtered water if needed

If your smoothie is too thick, add small amounts of unsweetened coconut milk or water until you get the desired consistency.
Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy.
Substitutions
If you don't want to use bananas in this smoothie, leave it out and add extra mango. Mango provides the same texture as a banana; it's just not as sweet.
If you need extra sweetness then blend in a teaspoon or so of honey or pure maple syrup.
Suppose you want more of a slushie consistency, swap in coconut water or orange juice, or use all filtered water instead of the milk. Use 1 cup to start and add more for a thinner consistency. Also, keep an eye on the sugar and calories when using juices or coconut water.
You certainly can use all fresh mango and berries in this smoothie recipe; you'll need to add 1 cup or so of ice cubes to give it that cold, thick texture. Keep in mind that this can also water down the smoothie.
Use any of your favorite berries in this smoothie recipe. If you only have raspberries, then use those.
Swap in your favorite leafy greens; kale and collard greens are great options.
For extra protein, use a scoop of protein powder or collagen powder. You can also add ½ cup of plain greek yogurt or try ¼ of avocado.
Blend in your favorite superfoods to add extra nutrition to this smoothie. These options include coconut oil, coconut flakes, MCT oil, hemp hearts, hemp seeds, and flaxseeds.
For a spicy mango berry smoothie add in a pinch of cayenne pepper. Cayenne helps get your metabolism going.
