A quick and easy green smoothie packed with fresh spinach, green apple, banana, and a hint of ginger for a healthy energy boost and detox.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (loosely packed)
  • 1 medium green apple, cored and chopped
  • 1 small frozen banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 cups of fresh spinach thoroughly to remove any grit. Core and chop 1 medium green apple into small chunks. Peel and slice 1 small frozen banana.
  2. Peel and grate about 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger finely using a microplane or small grater.
  3. Add the spinach, chopped apple, frozen banana, and grated ginger into your blender jar. Pour in 1 cup (8 fl oz) of unsweetened almond milk. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt.
  4. If using, add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  5. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 45 to 60 seconds until smooth with no visible chunks.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or ginger strength by adding a drizzle of honey or more banana/almond milk if needed. Blend again briefly if adjusted.
  7. Pour into your favorite glass or reusable cup and serve immediately.

Notes

Use frozen banana for creaminess without watering down the smoothie. A pinch of sea salt enhances flavor and cuts bitterness. Start blending on low speed and increase gradually to avoid air bubbles. Clean blender immediately after use to prevent staining. Adjust ginger amount to taste.
