Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
Wash all fruits and greens thoroughly. Peel the banana and ginger, chop the apple and cucumber into smaller pieces for easy blending.
Step 2: Add Ingredients to Blender
Add the liquid base (water or coconut water) first, followed by spinach/kale, banana, apple, pineapple, cucumber, and ginger. This order helps your blender create a smoother consistency.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high for about 60 seconds, or until the mixture becomes smooth and vibrant green. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more liquid; if too thin, add a few ice cubes or more fruit.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
Taste the smoothie and adjust flavors. For more sweetness, add extra pineapple or a few drops of honey. For more zing, increase lemon or ginger.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
Pour the smoothie into glasses or jars. Garnish with a slice of lemon, a mint sprig, or chia seeds on top for added texture and beauty. Drink immediately for the freshest flavor and maximum nutrition.
