This High-Fibre Tropical Green Smoothie is a bright, refreshing way to pack greens, fruit, and fibre into your morning without it tasting like a salad. Frozen mango and pineapple bring the tropical sweetness, spinach disappears completely into the blend, and chia seeds plus flax meal quietly build the fibre content up to 10g per serving. It is one of the most approachable green smoothies you will find.

Ingredients
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (2%)
- ½ cup frozen mango chunks
- ¼ cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 large handful fresh spinach
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp flax meal
- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder
- ¾ cup coconut milk or milk of choice (carton, unsweetened)
Optional: Use coconut or vanilla-flavoured Greek yogurt instead of plain to enhance the tropical flavour.
Instructions
1. Blend and Serve
Add all ingredients to a blender, placing the spinach near the liquid so it blends easily. Blend on high for 60 seconds until completely smooth and bright green. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Dietitian Tips
- Don’t skip the spinach. A large handful of spinach adds close to 1g of fibre and a significant dose of iron, folate, and magnesium — and once blended with mango and pineapple, you simply cannot taste it.
- Coconut milk adds creaminess and flavour. Unsweetened coconut milk from a carton (not the full-fat canned version) complements the tropical fruit and keeps the fat content reasonable. Any milk works if coconut is not on hand.
- Frozen fruit is the key. Using frozen mango and pineapple means no ice required — the smoothie stays thick and cold without watering down the flavour.
