Timesaving Tips
Cut up the mango pieces the evening before and keep in the refrigerator for use in this recipe and others.
Prewash the spinach and kale so it is ready to go. Have single served portions stored individually in the refrigerator at the beginning of the week to save valuable preparation time.
Store the ingredients in an airtight container in the refrigerator the night before and just dump them into your blender with ice.
With a little advanced preparation of the fruit, you can whip this up in about 2 minutes. It is creamy and refreshing and tastes like a milkshake and it costs only pennies to make!

I need to get back to drinking smoothies because that looks really good!
It really is and it is a tasty way to get those greens.
Well there you go! I would like the mango taste – helping with the greens taste. Not that I don’t love kale, but it goes so well with other flavors if you’re going to drink it.
Yes very true about kale -it blends especially well in this.
I would have never thought to put Kale with Mango. Looks and sounds delish. I have to start making these too and lay off the cupcakes.
It is a nice combo and yes, they are a good substitution for cupcakes once in a while. I love me some cupcakes though! 🙂
