Pineapple-Mango Green Smoothie

Six out of seven mornings I make myself a green smoothie in my Blendtec Blender. I bought it as a gift for myself back in January and can't believe I waited so long. It's one of the best purchases I've made for my kitchen.

Green smoothies fuel my mornings, and really my entire day. I love that I get so many essential nutrients and can feel the immediate boost from the energy. I believe a big part of that comes from the (wait for it) greens (doi) and the chia seeds. Green smoothies have also been a fun way to use the kale, spinach, beet greens and Swiss chard I get from my CSA share. I mix it up each day and try to keep the sugar and fruit components to the minimum and the greens to the max.  Each smoothie is always delicious and today I'm sharing one of my most favorite recipes! My Pineapple-Mango Green Smoothie. I don't have this smoothie every morning since there is so much fruit, but when I do it's a real treat.You'll love it.

The combination of pineapple and mango is so tropical. I love adding avocado and chia seeds to make the texture insanely smooth, you'll really be surprised. Give my Pineapple-Mango Green Smoothie try. It's paradise in a cup.
