Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach (washed)
- 1 ripe banana (peeled)
- 1 green apple (washed and sliced)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup water or coconut water
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Wash the spinach and green apple thoroughly, peel the banana, and squeeze fresh lemon juice. Measure out the yogurt, honey, chia seeds, and your choice of liquid to have everything ready to blend smoothly.
- Blend the Greens and Liquids: Start by adding the spinach, lemon juice, and water or coconut water to the blender. Blend on high speed until the greens are fully liquefied and smooth, ensuring no leafy chunks remain.
- Add Fruits and Creamy Elements: Next, add the banana, green apple slices, Greek yogurt, honey, and chia seeds. Blend again until the mixture is silky and evenly combined, creating a luscious green swirl.
- Taste and Adjust: Give your smoothie a quick taste test. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey; for extra tang, splash in more lemon juice. Blend briefly again to mix in any adjustments.
- Serve Immediately: Pour your Immune Boosting Sweet Green Smoothie into your favorite glass or jar and enjoy it fresh to maximize the nutritional benefits and vibrant flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh leafy greens and ripe fruits ensure optimal flavor and nutrient preservation.
- Opt for organic: Choosing organic produce can help reduce pesticide exposure in your smoothie.
- Freeze your fruits: For a chillier smoothie without adding ice, use frozen banana or apple slices.
- Soak chia seeds: Soaking them briefly in water before blending helps avoid a gritty texture.
- Adjust liquid consistency: Add water or coconut water gradually to reach your preferred smoothie thickness.
