Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 medium apple, cored and chopped
  • 1 cup water or milk (dairy or plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Rinse the spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Peel the banana and remove the core from the apple, chopping it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
  2. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the spinach, banana, chopped apple, and your choice of water or milk into the blender. Adjust the liquid quantity slightly if you prefer a thinner or thicker smoothie.
  3. Blend until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no visible chunks.
  4. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy right away for the best flavor and nutrient retention.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen spinach depending on availability; frozen spinach can make the smoothie chillier.
  • For added protein, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter.
  • Sweeten naturally with an extra banana or a drizzle of honey if desired.
  • Substitute water with almond, soy, or oat milk for a creamier texture and enhanced flavor variations.
