Green Smoothies are still riding a popularity wave. Healthy and full of flavor, it’s easy to see why people like to grab their nutrients in a quick, sippable form.

Today’s recipe for the Best-Ever Green Smoothie has just 4 ingredients. Who knew mango would go so well with leafy spinach and kale? Well, it does!

To make it super easy to have a smoothie anytime, make some single serving ziplocs of the kale, spinach and mango then store in the freezer. When you want a smoothie, just dump the baggie contents in the blender and add the apple juice. The make ahead method also makes it effortless to serve a crowd.

Serve your smoothie in a mason jar and get extra hipster points. :)
