Mornings are a tough time. They are so always so busy, and there’s always so much going on. When I was in school, I remember so many mornings when I wanted a little more sleep, even if that meant that I didn’t have time to eat. Really, it can be difficult to find the time to have any breakfast, let alone to have a healthy one.
Since mornings are such an on-the-go time, it’s great to have a breakfast that’s not only healthy but also super tasty and portable – like this Tropical Green Smoothie. This tropical green smoothie is great!
It is a sweet, creamy tropical smoothie (and no, you can’t taste the spinach) that is packed with delicious ingredients like fresh spinach, fruit, and Greek yogurt.
Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Almond milk: Feel free to use whatever milk or milk substitutes, like coconut milk or oat milk, you prefer.
- Vanilla Greek yogurt: You can use whatever type of vanilla Greek yogurt you like. If you’d like the smoothie to be tart, you can use regular Greek yogurt.
- Fruit: Feel free to substitute another type of frozen tropical fruit for the pineapple or mango.
