Cream Machine Green Smoothies
Serves 2

There is a ton of green goodness found in avocado and spinach, which give you a nice boost of folate and vitamin E. The mango-and-banana combo is a great way to create a creamy, tropical kick.

2 cups spinach
2 cups water
1 avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
1 cup chopped mango
1 banana

Blend the spinach and water until smooth.

Add the avocado, mango, and banana and blend again.
