Description
This simple green smoothie with banana, green apples, and spinach is refreshingly tart and a great way to start the day.
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced frozen bananas
- 1 small (5-oz) granny smith apple, cored and cut into pieces
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste (see note)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup 2% milk (see note)
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add more milk to thin the smoothie, if needed.
Notes
I love ginger, so if you want it a little less zingy you might want to cut the amount of ginger in half. For the milk, you can use pretty much whatever you like – almond milk, soy milk, whole milk or even half & half (if you want it a little richer) will work great. The nutrition estimate includes 2% milk.
