Refreshing and packed with vitamins, this Mango Spinach Green Smoothie is just the pick-me-up you need to get through your day.
I have been lucky to have met a number of fabulous food bloggers in the past year or two. After spending a good 3 years juggling home life, blogging in the wee hours and basically hiding behind the computer screen, I now have a slew of bloggers that I can call my friends.
Some I have met at conferences, others I have never met face-to-face. But the support, camaraderie and general warm & fuzzies are priceless. And today I want share some blogging love and introduce you to Stacy, from Center Stage Wellness.
Stacy is such a sincere person and positive energy force, you won’t know what hit you! She is a healthy life coach, foodie and such a wonderful person to get to know. I took her January Jump Start to set a strong momentum into my new year’s resolutions.
Although a two-month cough kept me from getting everything I wanted accomplished, I still use a lot of what I learned with Stacy in my day-to-day routine.
I recently went to her site in search of a green smoothie recipe, which I admit, I’ve been avoiding like the plague. I wanted something healthy, not overly sweet and certainly something that did NOT taste like swamp juice.
Stacy’s smoothie is super simple. It’s also goof proof, as I eye-balled the measurements, even adding more spinach than the recipe called for. Plus, instead of kefir I used Greek yogurt.
And it is delicious. Great for breakfast on the run, or a little afternoon pick-me-up.

Hi, I’m Laura, a certified professional cook and cookbook author living in San Diego. I have been sharing my family’s favorite recipes inspired from all over the world since 2008. Let’s cook up something fun!
Thank you for sharing this one. I recently started a simple 30 day green smoothie challenge and I can’t wait to try this one!!
I enjoy any kinds of smoothies including green ones as long as they are prepared by someone… There I said it. I am too lazy to make fruit/green smoothies… that’s it. I think I should really try making good healthy smoothies and I know it’s not THAT too much hassle, especially if it’s satisfying and beautiful like this. Off to check Stacy’s site!
WOW – This looks amazing. I love greens but not “swamp juice” so this might just fit the bill. The question is – will kids drink it?
Thanks, that’s awesome! Will definitely share with my readers!
Love this pretty smoothie! We’re going to start our Labor Day weekend with it by featuring it on our Facebook page and link here so people can see how you made it, and your lovely photography. Tell your readers that if they wish, they should come LIKE us on Facebook for more recipes and tips on greens like kale, chard, beet, mustard, turnip, collard, escarole, dandelion and other green leafies. https://www.facebook.com/Cut.n.Clean.Greens

Well, I would never have thought of putting mango and spinach together, but this too fascinating not to try 🙂 ! Thank you for the introduction to ‘Centre Stage Wellness’ too!
Thanks, Eha! Do stop by and give Stacy a hello from down under!
I’m relieved that you confirmed it was not swamp juice. 😉
Yes, I have done my research on swamp juice! LOL! You know what I’m talking about – I don’t do shots of wheat grass!
It certainly looks delicious as well as healthy and green is my favourite colour.
Green is my Professor’s favorite color, too. And I really love this color of green.
Gosh, you do so much with mango. This is great – a smoothie combo that wouldn’t have occurred to me. And thanks for introducing us to Stacy!
Gotta do something with these over ripe mangos!
Going on my to-try list!
Awesome! I hope you like it, too!
I’ve never tried a green smoothie (to be honest, they scare me a little!) but I trust you so this looks like one worth trying. Love the mango!
It doesn’t help that you bake such sinful goodies!
Love green smoothies and this variation with kefir sounds good ! I drink a green smoothie every morning. So will try this variation as well. Your green smoothie looks fab 🙂
I am trying to be good, but every day is tough. It’s also A LOT of spinach!
Shared this on my Facebook page 🙂
Thank you for the share!
That looks fantastic!
Thank you, Dorothy!
