The first day of summer is rapidly approaching, and that means that now is as good a time as any to get on board the smoothie train.

Actually, the smoothie train runs year round. And the smoothie train stops for no one. But there is something particularly summerish about this mango coconut green smoothie. Maybe it’s the mango coconut. Whatever the cause, there’s nothing beating a green smoothie with a tropical attitude on a warm day.

And you get the benefits of all sorts of happy nutrients from the banana, the lovely spinach, and the subtle nutty goodness. If coconut and mango isn’t hitting the tropical highs you need, consider tossing in some pineapple!
