Ingredients:

2 cups kale
130g
2 cups spinach
60g
1 cucumber
200g
1 stalk celery
40g
1/2 apple
80g
1 banana
120g
1 cup water
240g
1 tbsp ginger root
6g
1/4 cup almond milk
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash the kale and spinach thoroughly.
- Peel the cucumber and chop it into small pieces.
- Chop the celery stalk into manageable pieces.
- Core the apple, then chop it into small chunks.
- Peel and slice the banana.
- Peel and finely chop the ginger root.
2. Blend the Greens:
- Place the kale and spinach into the blender first. This will help blend them better with the tougher greens at the bottom.
- Add the cucumber, celery, and apple pieces into the blender.
3. Add Fruits and Liquids:
- Add the banana slices and chopped ginger root to the blender.
- Pour in the cup of water and the 1/4 cup of almond milk.
4. Blend:
- Secure the lid on the blender and start blending at a low speed to combine the ingredients.
- Gradually increase to a higher speed and blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender's power.
5. Check Consistency:
- Check the consistency of the smoothie. If it's too thick for your liking, you can add a little more water or almond milk and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
6. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into a glass or glasses.
- Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
7. Storage Tips:
- If you have any leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator. The smoothie is best consumed within 24 hours for optimal freshness and taste. Shake well before drinking if it has separated.

Tips:

- Chop Ingredients: Chop the kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, apple, and banana into smaller pieces to make blending easier and more efficient.

- Blending Sequence: Start by blending the leafy greens first with the water to ensure they are thoroughly processed before adding other ingredients.

- Consistency Check: Adjust the consistency of the smoothie by adding more water or almond milk if it’s too thick, or some ice if you prefer a chilled beverage.

- Flavor Boost: For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a handful of fresh herbs like mint or parsley.

- Storage: If you have leftovers, store the smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.

- Blender Power: Using a high-powered blender will ensure a smoother texture, reducing any grittiness from the greens.

- Nutrient Enhancement: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for an extra nutritional boost and added fiber.

Enjoy your refreshing Apple and Greens Smoothie, packed with essential vitamins and nutrients. This smoothie is perfect as a breakfast option, post-workout drink, or an anytime snack.
