Healthy Recipes Healthy Drink Recipes Healthy Smoothie Recipes 3-Ingredient Tropical Greens Smoothie Packs Using a frozen tropical fruit blend is a handy shortcut for smoothies because it often contains both banana and mango, which add natural sweetness. Freezing the fresh spinach with the fruit is a great way to keep it from going bad before you can use it. Feel free to add a scoop of your favorite protein powder before blending.
