COCONUT MANGO KALE GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPE
This coconut mango lime green smoothie is a delicious way to get some extra kale in your diet (which we ALL need).
Of course, if you prefer other greens or just have them lying around #UseWhatYouGot then feel free to exchange for the kale.
If you’re out of coconut milk (or just prefer a different milk substitute), that could certainly be switched up as well.
The mango, lime, banana and kale (known for making chewy smoothies worldwide) are smoothly combined with a good power blender – making for a sweet and tangy green smoothie that even kids will love!

KALE HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS
New research suggests that kale providescomprehensive detoxification support for your body if you’re trying to detox.
Glucosinolates abundant in kale make isothiocyanates that play a huge role in reducing free radicals in the body and fighting at least five different kinds of cancer.
Beyond that, isothiocyanates regulate detox on a genetic and cellular level.
If you’re trying to cleanse or detoxify your body, this smoothie will be a great addition to your diet!
The recipes in the 21 day challenge are great but the amounts and shopping lists could use some editing. This recipe states it will produce 16oz at the top. But at the bottom, the recipe states 32oz.
Thanks Marissa! We had to adjust a few recipes to make them make more smoothie! Thank you for catching this error. 🙂 HAPPY BLENDING!
These smoothies taste good, but when I plug them into my fitness pal I always get an alert that the sugar contact is too high. Did blender babes consider the sugar when compiling these smoothies?
Hi Andi,
It’s likely that the sugar content is considered too high by an algorithm, but since the sugar is all derived of natural, fiber-filled sources, they’re perfectly fine, unless you’re diabetic or have a sensitivity to sugar. We don’t usually add refined sugar to our recipes and prefer stevia, but if they’re from fruits, we pile ’em on! Carb up! 🙂
This recipe looks so good, but I think I did something wrong, mine was so bitter. I peeled the lime too so I’m not sure where the bitter came from :/ bummed
Very yummy, tastes just like a lime popsicle!
I enjoyed this as an avid green smoothie consumer. My 3 1/2 year old drank some but it was not his favorite. Best served very cold. I used homemade coconut milk
Good! I used the whole half lime. I used half coconut water, half almond milk. It was a little bland so I threw in a few pineapple chunks. 4 Stars after the pineapple chunks 🙂
LOVE the idea of adding pineapple, will have to try Val, thanks for sharing! Seems like pineapple improves many green smoothies and juices 🙂
