Reset Kitchen Note

If you’re new to green smoothies, start with mango rather than pineapple for a naturally sweeter flavor. The fresh mint brightens the entire drink and helps create a smoothie that tastes far more tropical than green.
For a post-workout version, add an additional scoop of protein powder and a tablespoon of almond butter for sustained energy and recovery support.
