This Simple Vegan Green Smoothie is a nutrient powerhouse with a blend of spinach, kale, tropical mango, pineapple, creamy banana, and plant-based protein powder. Has loads of ingredients that are anti-inflammatory and that fuel your day and support overall wellness!
Looking for a way to fuel your morning with something healthy, delicious, and full of nutrients? This simple vegan green smoothie is packed with tropical flavors and superfoods. It’s not just a smoothie—it’s a powerhouse of leafy greens, plant protein, and healthy fats. Whether you’re new to making green smoothies or a longtime fan, this recipe will become your daily go-to.
Reasons to include those green leafy veg in your diet:
Greens are a rich source of vitamins and minerals and are most nutritious when consumed raw. When you start your day with a simple green smoothie, you are already consuming a lot of fruits and vegetables. There are loads of speculations this day about what we should or shouldn’t be eating, but one thing all diets can agree on is that dark, leafy green vegetables are a must in your diet! Doing that is upping your daily intake of these essential food types 👍. Beautiful smoothies with nutrient-rich vegetables and unlike juices, retain the beneficial fiber content from whole foods. Smoothies are also an easy way to take in those supplements like protein powder, spirulina, or other powdered supplements just by adding a serving into the blender and you are good to go.
Simple Vegan Green Smoothie but powerful!
I am generally not a big fan of protein powders as I simply can’t find a plant-based protein that tastes somewhat palatable. Plus I don’t drink many smoothies and the reason is that I simply like to chew my food! This green smoothie is by far my favorite go-to recipe. I use it in the mornings when I simply don’t want to be making anything fancy or when I need to catch up on the blog posts😜😂 In conclusion I hope you give it a go and enjoy it as much as I do 😊
Ingredients needed:
Leafy Greens: I like using a mix of spinach and kale here—it adds a mild, earthy flavor that blends beautifully. Don’t worry; you won’t even taste the greens under the tropical fruit!
Frozen Mango & Pineapple: These bring a burst of natural sweetness and make the smoothie extra thick and frosty.
Banana: Just half a ripe banana makes it creamy and sweet—ripe bananas are key for that natural sugar!
Protein Power: A scoop of plant-based protein keeps you full and energized.
Superfood Boost: Chia seeds, maca powder, cinnamon, turmeric, and ginger all add anti-inflammatory goodness and subtle warmth.
Nuts: Brazil nuts and walnuts add a boost of healthy fats and selenium.
Water: Keeps the smoothie light and hydrating—it blends everything to the perfect consistency!
Why This Simple Green Smoothie is a Game-Changer
Energy Boosting: The combination of fruits, maca powder, and plant-based protein provides sustained energy throughout your day.
Gut-Friendly: Flax seeds and ginger aid digestion, making this a perfect breakfast or post-workout snack.
Anti-Inflammatory: Both turmeric and ginger have anti-inflammatory properties that help support recovery and immunity.
Tropical Taste: Mango and pineapple add a naturally sweet, refreshing flavor that masks the bitterness of greens.
Protein-Packed: Thanks to the plant-based protein powder, walnuts, and Brazil nut.
High in Antioxidants: The combination of turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon helps fight inflammation
Fiber-Rich: Greens, banana, and flax seeds all add fiber to support digestion and keep you feeling full.
How do you make Vegan Green Smootie?
To get a super smooth green smoothie, you’ll need a powerful blender to break down all those leafy greens. Without one, you might end up with bits of greens floating in your drink. If you’re working with a regular blender, try blending the water and greens first until they’re completely liquid, then add the rest of your ingredients.
Change it up!
Want to make this smoothie your own? Here are some easy swaps and additions:
- For a creamier texture: Replace water with coconut milk or almond milk
- Add more greens: Swap spinach or kale for collard greens or arugula.
- Boost the protein: Add a spoonful of almond butter or hemp hearts.
- Sweeten it up: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add dates or a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Add berries just remember that adding berries will make your smoothie a brown color that can be unappealing, but will still taste delicious.
Some tips for the perfect Vegan Green Smoothie:
- Use frozen fruit for a creamier, colder texture—there’s no need to add ice.
- Blend liquids first to prevent the blender from clogging with the greens.
- Store extra in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours—just shake well before drinking.
- Start Small with Greens. If you’re new to green smoothies, start with a smaller amount of greens and gradually increase as you get used to the taste.
