Pineapple Mango Vegan Smoothie

This vegan smoothie is a refreshing and nutritious way to start your day. It's packed with fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats, and it's naturally sweetened with pineapple and mango. The spinach and chia seeds add a boost of fiber and protein, and the flaxseed provides a source of omega-3 fatty acids.

I first developed this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and delicious way to use up some leftover pineapple and mango. I experimented with different combinations of fruits, vegetables, and liquids, and I finally settled on this recipe. It's become a staple in my breakfast routine, and I love that it's so easy to make and customize. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste, and you can adjust the consistency to your liking by adding more or less almond milk.
