Green Embrace Smoothie

Mango adds its characteristic sweetness to counter the deep, dark greenness of this superfood-heavy shake. Substitute coconut water for the plain water for extra sweetness and bonus electrolytes.

Makes about 16 ounces (470 milliliters)

1 cup (240 milliliters) water

1 ripe frozen or fresh banana, broken into chunks

Handful of spinach leaves

1/2 medium mango, peeled, pitted and roughly chopped

2 teaspoons coconut oil

1 teaspoon supergreen powder, such as Boku brand

1 teaspoon lucuma powder

1/4 teaspoon spirulina powder

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend at high speed until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve, over ice if you'd like, or pour into a container, cover, and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
