Notes on ingredients

Frozen bananas: Ripe spotty bananas are the best choice for this recipe as they will add natural sweetness. Check How to freeze bananas.
Mango: Choose ripe mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch. To determine if a mango is ripe, apply firm but gentle pressure to the fruit. If it gives slightly when squeezed, it is ripe and ready to eat.
Avocado: Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch. Remove the skin and pit before adding the avocado to your smoothie.
Fresh spinach: Baby spinach is a milder and more tender variety of spinach that is perfect for smoothies. It has a sweeter taste and a softer texture than mature spinach, making it easier to blend into your smoothie.
Hemp seeds: Hemp seeds are an excellent choice for adding flavor and nutrition to smoothies.
Maca powder: Adding maca powder to your smoothies is easy and delicious! Always choose a high-quality maca powder from reputable sources.
Spirulina powder: The best way to ensure you’re getting pure, clean spirulina is to always opt for an organic certified product.

Tips and how-tos

How to freeze bananas

Bananas are best frozen when they’re ripe or slightly overripe (spotty). Here is how to do it:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel your bananas and cut into 1.5 – 2 cm thick slices.
Arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet and freeze until the bananas are solid, for about 2 hours.
Once frozen, peel the banana slices off of the parchment paper, and place them in a freezer-safe container.
Put them back into the freezer until ready to use.
Make sure you seal the container properly to prevent them from turning brown.
Store bananas in the freezer for up to 3 months.
