If using fresh mango, you can substitute it for frozen, but frozen is preferred to avoid using ice.

If you prefer, you can use coconut water, whole milk, or just water instead of almond milk, but avoid sweetened options.

Add a handful of fresh spinach to the blender.

Add the ripe banana to the blender without peeling it.

Blend the mixture until you reach your desired consistency, either chunky or smooth.

If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk until you reach the desired thickness.
