Youthful Glow Green Smoothie
Description
This smoothie combines nutrient-dense leafy greens like kale or power greens and baby spinach with sweet banana and crisp cucumber for mild vegetal freshness. Apple juice and lemon juice add natural sweetness and a citrus brightness that lifts the flavor. Ice chills and dilutes slightly for a smooth, cool texture.
The optional ginger adds a subtle warming spice and additional health benefits if included. Blending until smooth ensures a cohesive and drinkable texture, though the foam that forms on top indicates fiber content.
This drink serves well as a morning boost or light snack, delivering a dose of greens and fruit in an easy-to-consume form. Using frozen banana allows for less ice and a creamier consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 handfuls approximately 2 cups Kale or Power Greens Mix
- 2 handfuls approximately 2 cups Baby Spinach
- 2 cups apple juice pure
- 1/2 cucumber
- 1/2 lemon squeezed (for extra benefits, use the juice from an entire lemon)
- 1 banana
- ice
Optional:
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated, fresh
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Drink right away as the foam will rise to the top which means that you have lots of good fiber to drink.
- *Using a frozen banana will allow you to use less ice.
- *For added nutritional benefits, swap water with apple juice and add one whole apple or swap out 1 cup of apple juice for 1 cup of water and add 1/2 apple.
