Print Recipe

A refreshing and nutrient-packed green smoothie featuring fresh ginger and spinach, perfect for a natural energy boost and detoxification.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 medium banana, frozen preferred
  • 1 medium apple, cored and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • 1 to 1½ cups water or coconut water
  • Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds, or a scoop of protein powder

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 cups of fresh spinach thoroughly to remove any grit.
  2. Peel and grate 1 inch of fresh ginger.
  3. Peel and chop the banana (if not frozen, add a few ice cubes later).
  4. Core and chop 1 medium apple.
  5. Peel and chop ½ cucumber.
  6. Squeeze 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
  7. Place the spinach, grated ginger, banana, apple, cucumber, and lemon juice into your blender jar.
  8. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of water or coconut water to start.
  9. Blend on low speed gradually increasing to high until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  10. If too thick, add up to ½ cup (120 ml) more water to reach desired consistency.
  11. Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or a date if desired; add more lemon juice for extra zing.
  12. Add optional chia seeds, flaxseeds, or protein powder and blend for 10-15 seconds to mix thoroughly.
  13. Serve immediately for maximum freshness and nutrient kick.

Notes

Use fresh ginger for best flavor; frozen banana adds creaminess without watering down the smoothie. Adjust ginger amount to taste to avoid overpowering. Blend in stages starting slow then increasing speed for smooth texture. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
