Ingredients
- 2 cups cold water
- 1 banana cut into chunks
- 1 orange peeled and separated into segments
- ½ apple your favorite variety, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
- ½ lemon peeled and separated into segments
- ½-inch fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 2 cups baby spinach
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: cold water, banana, orange, apple, lemon, ginger, and baby spinach. Having everything prepared makes the blending process smooth and easy.
- Next, pour the cold water into your blender. This will help to create a smooth consistency when you add the other ingredients.
- Add the banana chunks into the blender. The banana will act as a natural sweetener and give your smoothie a creamy texture.
- Now, toss in the orange segments. Make sure they are peeled and separated to blend smoothly.
- Next, add the apple chunks. Using your favorite variety will enhance the flavor of your smoothie!
- Peel and add the segments of the lemon. This will give your smoothie a lovely tang that balances the sweetness of the fruits.
- Include the ginger piece in the blender. It adds a unique, zesty flavor that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.
- Finally, add the baby spinach on top. This will blend down nicely and provide all the essential nutrients.
- Put the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until everything is smooth and creamy. Take a moment to enjoy the delightful aroma as the ingredients meld together!
- Once your smoothie is properly blended, you can choose to drink it all at once or pour it into two servings. If you decide to store any, use an airtight container for up to one day in the refrigerator.
- If your smoothie thickens once chilled, give it a brisk stir or use a small whisk before enjoying it again. Cheers to your health!
