Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen spinach no need to thaw
  • 1 large ripe banana for creaminess and sweetness
  • 1 medium green apple cored and chopped
  • 0.5 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 cup almond milk unsweetened preferred
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds optional for texture and fiber

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the frozen spinach to your blender, creating a vivid green base.
  2. Slice the ripe banana into chunks and toss them into the blender for creamy sweetness.
  3. Core and chop the green apple, then add it to the mixture for a tart, crisp flavor.
  4. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice directly into the blender, releasing a bright citrus aroma.
  5. Pour in the almond milk, adjusting the amount for your preferred thickness—more for thinner, less for a richer texture.
  6. Sprinkle in the chia seeds for added fiber and a subtle crunch, if desired.
  7. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30 seconds, watching the mixture turn a bright, smooth green and foam slightly on top.
  8. Pause the blender and taste the smoothie, adjusting sweetness or acidity with honey or extra lemon if needed.
  9. Pour the smoothie into a glass, letting it settle for a moment to thicken slightly.
  10. Give the glass a gentle swirl to blend any separation, then enjoy immediately to savor its fresh, vibrant flavor.
