Do you struggle with getting your daily dose of greens? This detox spinach green smoothie is here to sve the day!
All you have to do is toss some slices of banana, apple, spinach and lemon into a blender.
Then, dose some water over the mixture and puree it.
In just a few short steps, you can have a nutrient-rich drink ready for sipping.
GREEN SMOOTHIE INGREDIENTS:
• Bananas - they will make this smoothie super creamy. If you don’t like bananas, try swapping with one avocado, half pineapple, one mango or two peaches.
•Apple - we usually just use any apple that we have on hand at the moment, but we recommend a crisp and juicy type of apple, such as Gala, Braeburn, Pink Lady or Fruji. We like to peel our apples first, but this step is optional if you have a powerful blender, like Vitamix or NutriBullet. If your apples is a bit on the old and withered side, make sure to peel the skin off, otherwise, keep the skin on for more nutrients.
• Baby Spinach - Will add nutrients and color to the smoothie, but you will not even notice the taste, we promise! If you are not squeamish about the vegatables in your smoothie, you can swap it with regular spinach, or kale for even more nutrients.
• Lemon - Will balance the sweetness with acidity, and add vitamin C and antioxidants. You can swap it with orange juice or lime juice, depending on what you have available.
• Water - we just use plain water to thin this smoothie, but if you like, you can also use juice, like orange juice or pineapple juice. This will add to the total amount of calories though, so keep that in mind if you are watching your calorie intake.
