Print Recipe

A quick and easy fresh green detox smoothie that balances hidden spinach with sweet banana and bright citrus for a smooth, refreshing, and nourishing drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups fresh spinach leaves (packed, about 30 grams)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 medium green apple, cored and chopped
  • ½ cup (120 ml) fresh orange juice
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ inch piece fresh ginger, peeled (optional)
  • ½ cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Wash and prep your greens and fruit: rinse spinach leaves thoroughly, core and chop the green apple, peel banana and ginger.
  2. Add spinach to the blender first to help it blend more easily without clumping.
  3. Layer the banana and chopped apple over the spinach.
  4. Pour in the fresh orange juice and almond milk.
  5. Add the fresh ginger piece and chia seeds.
  6. Top with ice cubes to chill and thicken the smoothie.
  7. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth, scraping down the sides if needed.
  8. Taste and adjust: add more banana or honey if too tart, or more almond milk if too thick, then blend briefly again.
  9. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use baby spinach for a milder taste. Freshly squeezed orange juice improves flavor. Layer ingredients properly with spinach at the bottom and ice last. Blend long enough for a silky texture. Adjust thickness by adding almond milk or ice. Frozen spinach can be used but may require more liquid. For nut allergies, substitute almond milk with oat or coconut milk. Banana can be swapped with avocado for paleo or keto diets.
