Equipment
- High-speed blender
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Tall serving glasses
- Citrus juicer (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 medium green apples cored and chopped
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup cold milk dairy or almond milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Optional add-ins:
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
- Wash the green apples thoroughly. Core them and chop into small chunks. You can peel them if you prefer a milder flavor, but I personally love keeping the skin on for extra fiber and that beautiful light green color.
Step 2: Add Ingredients to Blender
- Place the chopped apples into your blender. Add the banana, Greek yogurt, milk, spinach, honey, lemon juice, and ice cubes.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
- Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds. Pause and scrape down the sides if needed. Continue blending until the texture is completely smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
- Taste your smoothie. If it is too tart, add a little more honey. If it is too thick, add a splash of milk. Blend again briefly.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
- Pour into tall glasses and serve right away. This smoothie tastes best when fresh and cold.
