Apple, Mango, Kiwi Smoothie with Spinach

Makes 1 smoothie

Ingredients

1/2 a medium apple (I left the skin on but removed the seeds)
1 kiwi, peeled
1/2 a medium mango, peeled
1 handful of spinach
1/2 cup almond milk (I'm still using that carton of coconut flavour)

Directions

Place all the ingredients into the blender and puree until smooth. This was a thick smoothie, you could add a little more milk if you want it runnier.
