    When I started my blog, I baked so many sweets, and it’s hard to imagine dieting with so much delicious food around. This was made even worse by the fact that I ate a lot (and by a lot I mean most) of it by myself. It seems that my belly isn’t too sensitive to sweets, and is easily able to digest everything I throw at it. That’s why it was time for a little diet, and green smoothies have become part of this diet. They don’t taste like vegetables AT ALL and you won’t even notice they’re there. It’s so delicious and simple, you have no idea. It’s recommended to use 40% greens with 60% fruits when making a green smoothie, so if you use 4 cups of greens, then you’ll need 6 cups of fruit. Simple as that. Plus, you’ll need to add some liquid for texture – milk, almond milk, coconut water, water, etc.

    This green smoothie is one of my favorites and uses a combination of tropical flavors such as mango, pineapple, and coconut. I even used papaya once. Today I substituted most of the coconut water with regular water, and it still turned out just as great.

    The mango and bananas make this tropical green smoothie super creamy and thick, so there’s no need to use yogurt for texture. That’s also why it’s best to use ripe fruits.

      Hi Shiran! This smoothie looks delicious and decadent. Although I can’t believe that it’s made up of such saintly ingredients. Do u recommend using frozen bananas or normal ones???

        Hi Angela! You can either use fresh bananas and add ice cubes, or use frozen diced bananas/mangos and leave out the ice cubes. Both options are great, but personally, I love using frozen fruits.
