Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Wash the spinach and green apple thoroughly. Peel the banana and measure out the chia seeds and coconut water.
- Blend the greens and liquid: Place the spinach and coconut water in your blender first and blend until completely smooth. This ensures a creamy base.
- Add fruits and seeds: Add the banana, green apple slices, lemon juice, and chia seeds to the blender. Blend again until everything is well combined and silky smooth.
- Taste and adjust: Give your smoothie a quick taste and add more lemon juice or a little honey if you prefer it sweeter. Blend for a few more seconds.
- Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass and enjoy the fresh burst of energy!
Notes
- Use frozen fruit such as banana or apple slices to chill the smoothie without diluting flavor.
- Blend spinach with liquid first to avoid clumps and achieve smooth texture.
- Adjust consistency by adding more coconut water or a splash of water if too thick.
- Prep ingredients ahead by portioning in freezer bags for quick blending in the morning.
- Skip added sweeteners to rely on natural fruit sugars, keeping the smoothie healthy.
