This plant-based, naturally sweetened smoothie is potassium-rich, loaded with greens, and sneaks in superfoods like baobab, moringa, and spirulina! Just 1 blender, 10 minutes, and 10 ingredients required. Let us show you how it’s done! This smoothie is inspired by our Ginger Colada Green Smoothie. The base is the ultimate tropical, creamy, tart-sweet combo: frozen banana + pineapple. Ginger provides zing and digestive benefits, coconut milk makes it rich and creamy, and lemon or lime + greens turn it into green lemonade! Coconut water adds natural sweetness and even more potassium, and it turns electric green with the addition of superfood powders moringa and spirulina! For superfoods, we went with three nutrient-dense powders: baobab, moringa, and spirulina. Baobab is a tropical fruit tree from Africa. The fruit dries naturally on the tree and its dried pulp is used to make baobab powder. It’s rich in vitamin C and prebiotic fiber, which helps support digestive health (source). Moringa is known as the “miracle tree,” and some claim it is “the most nutrient-rich plant yet discovered.” You can learn more about the health benefits of moringa and find our unbiased review of the top brands here. Spirulina is an extremely nutritious blue-green algae that’s rich in B vitamins, beta-carotene, antioxidants, and minerals like iodine, iron, and manganese. It’s also 60% protein and a complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids — 1 Tablespoon boasts 4 g protein (source). The superfood powders don’t contribute much to flavor but help give this smoothie its gorgeous electric green color and a boost of nutrition. We hope you LOVE this green smoothie!
