Are spinach smoothies healthy?

Spinach is always a healthy ingredient to add to smoothies, but not all smoothies with spinach are healthy. Overly fruity smoothies can add a lot of sugar. This smoothie has some mango fruit, but uses water instead of fruit juices, so the sugar is minimal.

Can I make this smoothie in advance?

This smoothie tastes best when made and served fresh, but you can make it in advance the night before. Store it in the fridge in an airtight container.
