A bright, frosty blend of spinach, apple, banana and cucumber with a kick of ginger — the easy way to drink your greens.
Ingredients
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 medium green apple, chopped
- 1/2 medium cucumber
- 1 tsp fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Add the almond milk to the blender first, then the spinach, banana, apple, cucumber, ginger and lemon juice — liquid first helps it blend smoothly.
- Blend on high 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and no flecks of spinach remain.
- Add the ice and blend again until frosty and pourable, thinning with a splash more liquid if needed.
- Pour into two glasses and drink right away while it's cold and bright green.
