The combo of mango, spinach, and sweet potato may seem odd at first, but let us tell you: this smoothie is delicious. The sweet potato and nutmeg combine into something reminiscent of a pumpkin spiced latte, but the mango gives it a tropical sweetness that screams Summer. Sometimes opposites attract! You also get more good-for-you nutrients than we can count: vitamin C, fiber, and iron are just a few. Blend one of these up for breakfast to stay energized and full until lunch. Be forewarned — you'll want this several times a week!
