Ingredients
Method
- Add the spinach, chopped green apple, cucumber, and grated ginger to the blender.
- Squeeze in the juice of the half lemon.
- Add the frozen banana and pour in the cold water or coconut water.
- Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy (about 45-60 seconds).
- If using, add the chia seeds and pulse a few times to combine (do not over-blend).
- Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately for the best flavor.
Notes
- Make it Colder: Use frozen green apple chunks instead of fresh for a thicker, slushy texture.
- Sweetness: If your apple is very tart, add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Prep Ahead: Wash and chop the apple and cucumber the night before and store in an airtight container in the fridge to save morning time.
- Storage: Smoothies are best fresh, but you can store leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 4 hours (shake well before drinking).
