Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
  • 4 cups loosely packed spinach that's about 2 large handfuls
  • 1 medium avocado peeled and pitted
  • 2 medium apples any kind you like, peel on, cored and quartered (if not using a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix, cut into a rough dice)
  • 1 medium banana cut into chunks and frozen
  • 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup plus additional to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger or 1/4-inch knob of fresh ginger (if not using a high-power blender, mince the ginger first; use less than 1/2 teaspoon if you'd like a more subtle taste. This smoothie has some zip!)
  • Small handful of ice cubes
  • Optional additions: chia seeds flaxseed, protein powder, almond butter or other nut butter of choice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In the order listed, add the almond milk, spinach, avocado, apples, banana, honey, ginger, and ice to a high-powered blender.
  2. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness and spices as desired. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • If you have any leftovers or do not drink both smoothies right away, you can store the extra in an airtight glass container such as a mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. You can also halve the recipe if you prefer.
  • If you do not have a high-powered blender, I recommend blending the almond milk, spinach, and avocado first, and then add the apple, banana, honey, and ginger. Once completely smooth, slowly add and blend in the ice.
