Brain-Boosting Green Smoothie
Sweet frozen mango and creamy banana meet a powerhouse blend of kale, spinach, and lion's mane mushroom powder in this bright green smoothie. It's packed with functional ingredients designed to help you start the morning with clear focus. Almond butter and fresh coconut add a rich, nutty undertone that balances the earthy greens. You'll love how thick and frosty it turns out, making it a refreshing way to fuel up for the day ahead.
Ingredients
- 1 piece fresh or frozen coconut (about 1½ ounces / 45 g)
- ½ frozen banana
- 1 cup (65 g) chopped kale leaves (no stems)
- 1 cup (45 g) baby spinach
- 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened oat milk or other plant milk
- ½ cup (85 g) frozen mango pieces
- 1½ tablespoons hemp protein powder
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon mushroom blend powder (one that includes lion’s mane)
- 1 tablespoon Brain On powder (optional)
Instructions
- 1Place the coconut, frozen banana, kale, spinach, oat milk, frozen mango, hemp protein, almond butter, mushroom powder, and Brain On powder into a blender.
- 2Blend on high speed until the mixture is thick, creamy, and bright green. A high-powered blender works best here to completely pulverize the raw kale. Pour into a glass and drink right away while it's still frosty.
Notes
- Ingredient tip: Brain On powder is usually available at local health food stores or online, but you can skip it if you prefer.
- Swap: If you don't have oat milk, any unsweetened plant milk works well.
- Make ahead: Chop and freeze your kale and spinach in advance for an even colder, thicker smoothie.
