Mango Kiwi Watercress Green Smoothie


Imagine a glass of this thick drippy wildness to begin your morning! It's a mess-o-fun that's finger licking good, start to finish! A great big nutrient dense way to start off your day! Get your greens on with a rich and creamy super foods smoothie everyday! Yum! So easy to create!


Mango Kiwi Watercress Green Smoothie
1/2 to 1 cup Coconut water
2 Tbs. Chia seeds
2 Tbs. Hemp seeds
2 1/2 Tbs. Fresh ground golden Flax seeds
1 tsp. Sesame seeds
1 tsp. Ceylon Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Turmeric
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
2 Tbs. Coconut shreds
1 Tsp Flax Oil
Very small handful Watercress
Small handful Dandelion and/or Kale
Small handful Pea and/or Alfalfa Sprouts
1 cup Mango (can be fresh or frozen)
1 -2 Kiwi with skin if organic
1 Banana
1/2 Avocado


All the fresh produce I used to create this green smoothie is organic, so there are none of the added toxins you get from conventional fruits and greens. Did you know that kiwi has more vitamin C than oranges, and that watercress is a cancer fighter? Organic whole foods are powerful. The skin of the kiwi is good for you, so if you purchased organic kiwi, cut off the ends and do not peel the nubby skin. Slice the kiwi and add to blender. Watercress is a bit spicy, so don't overdo adding the watercress leaves. Just a little and you will not notice the strong flavor at all. Fresh ground flax powder seems to also be a cancer fighter, so I always include it in my daily morning green smoothie mixture. Avocado is a good fat, and adding it into the fiber of the greens in this smoothie is a great combo for your health. Plus all the seeds and spices included within this smoothie do fantastic things for your body too! I store my chia, hemp, fresh ground flax seeds, and sesame seeds in the refrigerator. Let's make a super smoothie!

Add all the green smoothie ingredients in the order of the list above to a good blender. Blend for 15-30 seconds into your own thick and creamy super smoothie. Makes two glasses. Share the green love. 

Optional: You can add your Vitamin D drops, or omega filled DHA/EPA drops to your glass if you are taking these supplements, after it is 3/4 filled with green smoothie. Then pour more smoothie over the drops, and you are then ready to drink up and smile.

  1. Delicious! Just made this for breakfast, albeit a simpler version as the only seeds we have in at the moment are sesame. Love the spices which make for a more interesting green smoothie taste. Will definitely be making another one soon. :)
