Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 green apple, cored and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • A handful of ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash the spinach and green apple thoroughly. Peel the banana and core and chop the apple to ensure smooth blending.
  2. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the fresh spinach, banana, chopped green apple, chia seeds, and a handful of ice cubes into your blender jar.
  3. Pour in Liquid: Add one cup of unsweetened almond milk and the fresh lemon juice to the blender to keep the flavors bright and tangy.
  4. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high for one to two minutes or until the mixture is creamy and lump-free. Pause to scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is well combined.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie. If it needs more sweetness, add a little honey or more banana. If it’s too thick, pour in more almond milk and blend again.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and nutrition.
  • Don’t skip the lemon juice as it brightens flavor and helps preserve the vibrant green color.
  • Freeze your bananas to make the smoothie thicker and frostier without adding ice.
  • Start slow with greens if you’re new to green smoothies and gradually increase spinach amount.
  • Use a high-speed blender for a silky smooth texture.
