Mango Spinach Smoothie

May 16, 2013 By Leave a Comment

I honestly have no idea how I came to love spinach smoothies. For the most part I’m completely anti-green when it comes to drinks. I prefer red. Ultimately though, I guess it’s the fact that no matter what you just can’t taste the spinach in a spinach smoothie. That’s why I love this Mango Spinach Smoothie.

Creamsicles are one of my favourite frozen treats. Vanilla ice cream wrapped in an orange popsicle layer. Delicious. And so, so bad for my backend. Because of this unfortunate consequence I gave them up years ago. I have not, however given up on this amazing Creamsicle smoothie. It tastes just like the frozen treat but way better for you.
