Ingredients
Liquids
- 1 ½ cup milk (dairy or dairy-free)
Fruits and Vegetables
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 apple
- ¼ avocado
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits and vegetables: Wash the baby spinach thoroughly, core and chop the apple into smaller pieces to ease blending. If not already frozen, peel and slice the banana and set aside.
- Add ingredients to blender: Place 1 ½ cups of milk, 2 cups of baby spinach, the frozen banana, chopped apple, and ¼ avocado into the blender container in that order to facilitate smooth blending.
- Blend until smooth: Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the texture is smooth and creamy, usually about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Serve immediately: Pour the green smoothie into a glass and enjoy it fresh for the best flavor and nutrient retention.
Notes
- Use frozen banana to add natural sweetness and create a creamy texture without needing ice.
- The avocado adds healthy fats and creaminess; you can adjust the quantity based on preference.
- For extra nutrients, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
- Adjust the milk quantity to achieve your preferred smoothie consistency.
- For a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes before blending.
