Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the spinach leaves and cilantro (coriander leaves) thoroughly.
- Peel and chop the mangoes into chunks if using fresh mangoes. If using frozen mango chunks, measure out the required amount.
- Finely chop the onion and cucumber.
- Seed and finely chop the jalapeno pepper.
- Grate the lemon zest if you haven’t done so already.
- Squeeze fresh limes to obtain lime juice, or use pre-squeezed lime juice.
- In a blender, pour in the 1.5 cups of water.
- Add the cup of spinach to the blender.
- Blend these ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and no large spinach pieces remain.
- Add the chopped onion, cucumber, coriander leaves, and jalapeno pepper to the blender.
- Sprinkle in the lemon zest and pour in the lime juice.
- Add the 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of turmeric powder.
- Blend the mixture again until smooth and well combined.
- Finally, add the 3 cups of mango chunks to the smoothie mixture in the blender.
- Blend on high until the smoothie reaches a creamy and smooth consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice for tanginess, salt for balance, or additional jalapeno pepper for heat.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing and healthy Mango Salsa Green Smoothie!
- If desired, garnish with a small sprig of coriander leaves or a slice of lime on the rim of the glass for an extra touch of presentation.
Tips:
- For a smoother consistency, blend the spinach and water first before adding the other ingredients.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeno pepper to suit your spice tolerance.
- Use fresh mango if available for a more vibrant flavor. Frozen mango works well too and adds to the chill factor.
- Add ice cubes to make it extra cold and refreshing, especially during hot weather.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, feel free to add a banana or a bit of honey.
And there you have it! A refreshing Mango Salsa Green Smoothie that's as nutritious as it is delicious. This unique blend of flavors will tantalize your taste buds and provide a healthy boost of energy. Enjoy this vibrant smoothie any time you need a pick-me-up.
