Green Apple Smoothie
Servings: 1
This green apple smoothie blends tart green apple, banana, spinach, avocado and frozen pineapple with water until bright and creamy, with 11g of fiber. My kids drink it without noticing the spinach. It is easy to halve for one or double for the family.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 apple green, cored
- ½ banana peeled
- ¼ avocado
- ¼ cup pineapple frozen
Instructions
- Place the water, spinach and apple in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add the banana, avocado and pineapple. Blend until creamy, 45 to 60 seconds. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Ingredient Swaps: If green apples are hard to find, use a yellow or light red apple; the smoothie will be a little sweeter. Frozen avocado, banana or spinach from the freezer aisle all work here.
- Lower Sugar: Swap the banana for 1/4 cup frozen cauliflower.
- Protein Boost: Add a serving of homemade protein powder for a more filling smoothie.
- Storing: Best fresh, since the avocado can brown as it sits. It keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.
