Ingredients
Produce
- 2 cups chopped collard greens (leaves only, fresh or frozen)
- 1 banana (preferably frozen)
- ½ cup frozen mango
- ½ cup frozen pineapple
- ½ avocado
- ½ lime, juiced (about 1 to 2 tablespoons)
Other
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes (or shredded coconut)
- 1 cup water (more as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are measured and ready. If your banana is not frozen, you may want to add some ice cubes to keep the smoothie cold and thick.
- Blend Ingredients: Place collard greens, banana, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, avocado, lime juice, coconut flakes, and water into a blender. Blend on medium to high speed for about 1 minute or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add additional water a little at a time if the smoothie is too thick or not blending well.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes
- Using frozen banana and tropical fruits helps create a thick, creamy texture without needing to add ice.
- Add more water if you prefer a thinner smoothie consistency.
- Fresh or frozen collard greens both work well; frozen may blend more easily because they are softer.
- Unsweetened coconut flakes add a subtle tropical flavor and texture but can be omitted if preferred.
- Experiment with adding a scoop of protein powder or a handful of seeds (chia, flax) for an extra nutritional boost.
