Instructions
Blend the Greens First
Add the baby spinach and apple juice to the blender first. Blend on high for 30 seconds until the spinach is fully liquefied and no green flecks remain.
Add Fruit and Yogurt
Add the frozen mango, banana, yogurt, and chia seeds to the blender with the green liquid base.
Blend Until Smooth
Blend everything together on high speed for 60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. The color will be bright green but the flavor will be sweet and fruity.
Serve with Excitement
Pour into glasses and tell the kids it is a magic dragon smoothie. Serving it with enthusiasm makes kids much more likely to try and enjoy it.
