Raw spinach has very little flavor, but has a ton of nutrients. When you add it to your smoothie, the only change you’ll notice is the color! Oats are optional, but adding them will make your smoothie thicker and will add fiber. Check out this other mango smoothie recipe and some simple tips for how to layer the perfect smoothie using your own ingredients.
