Mango and spinach smoothie Christie Drabsch shared this recipe from raw food coach Karen Knowler on Eumundi Green’s Facebook page. Christie says, “It tastes only of mango but has a nice big serve of leafy greens...a great way to start your day!” Ingredients 1 large or 2 small ripe mangoes, peeled 5-6 handfuls organic spinach, washed 1-2 dates, stones removed (optional) Method Chop the mangoes into pieces and blend (it’s important to do this first to create the juice to blend the spinach into). Add the spinach to the blender. Blend the ingredients until a thick but bit-free consistency is achieved. Taste: if it’s not sweet enough add 1-2 dates; if it’s too sweet
add more spinach; blend. If you prefer a runnier smoothie, blend in water to your required consistency. When happy with taste and texture, pour into glass and as Karen says, “swoon and feel the green goodness flowing into you”! © Karen Knowler.
