How about a little green for your Sunday?!?!
Soo back about two weeks ago now, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. If you read regularly then you know all about this. I complained and complained for days and days. The good news is, I am finally starting to feel semi normal again and back to my old self. BUT when I couldnโt chew a single thing, I was all about smoothies, and this Mango Spinach Smoothieย quickly became my favorite. Nutrition wise, it gave me all the things I neededโฆ veggies, fruits, loads of good fats and antioxidants. I swear, this smoothie kept me alive for the first weekโฆthe best part โฆ itโs also DELICIOUS! So I didnโt mind drinking itโฆ for like everyย meal.
I loaded this green smoothie with all of my favorite thingsโฆ
โฆmango
โฆspinach
โฆpassionfruit
โฆcoconut
โฆvanilla
โฆmaca powder
If you wanted to bump up the protein you could also add a scoop of almond butter or like 1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt. Simple, SIMPLE, so yummy and good for us. YEAH!!

Smoothie Sunday for the win! ๐
LOVE the addition of maca here! I’ve been toying around with how to use it and this is great idea!
Thaank you!!
I’m all about mangoes in my smoothie, this looks just perfect!
Yay! Thanks Laura!
If only I had a blender when I got my wisdom teeth pulled out…I remember fainting because I could only eat canned chicken noodle soup for 3 days straight. Hope you’re feeling better! I love putting mangoes in my green smoothies!! ๐
Finally feeling much better!! The canned soup diet is never any fun!! Thanks Joleen
So are we starting to channel one another? LOL!
I sat down yesterday with my green smoothie to catch up w/ HBH
and other web stuff….and there you were with your version!
Right now there are so many different greens in my garden that it makes for quite a variety. I like green smoothies, but I think green juice is really my favorite. Oh, BTW, I really like how you create such healthy recipes that can be vegan/mostly vegan or not……it creates great flexibility for those of us who just love good food but don’t want to be stuck with a label like “100%Raw” or “Vegan” or “OmniVore. We just want to be happy eating healthy dishes!
LOL!! Thank you!! Its hard to make everyone happy!! (:
