Equipment
- A blender
- A knife
- A cutting board
- Measuring cups
- A big glass or mason jar
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach or packed handful
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen mango
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup apple juice adjust for sweetness
- 1/2 banana optional but recommended for creaminess
- 1/2 cup cold water or ice optional depending on consistency
- 1 tablespoon honey optional if you want it sweeter
- A squeeze of fresh lemon my secret brightness booster
Instructions
Add the spinach first.
- This helps the leaves blend smoothly instead of flying around the jar like confetti.
Add the pineapple, mango, and banana.
- Use frozen fruit for a thicker texture. Fresh works too, but you’ll need extra ice.
Pour in the apple juice.
- Start with 1/2 cup and adjust later if needed.
Add honey and lemon juice.
- The lemon especially makes a huge difference in balancing the sweetness.
Blend on high.
- Keep going until smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender, 30–60 seconds.
Adjust texture.
- Add more juice for a thinner smoothie, or add ice for a thicker one.
Pour and enjoy immediately.
- Green smoothies always taste best fresh and cold.
