Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Core and chop the apples. If you prefer a smoother texture, you may peel the apples, but it's optional if you want to keep the extra fiber from the skin.
- Add 2 cups of water and 3 cups of washed spinach leaves to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until the spinach is fully liquefied, forming a smooth green base.
- Add the chopped apples and 2 cups of frozen blueberries to the blender.
- Blend again until smooth and no chunks remain.
- Add 1 scoop of whey protein powder and 1 tablespoon of flaxseed to the blender.
- Blend until well mixed and the smoothie has a nice, smooth consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses.
- Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.
Tips:
- Use a high-speed blender to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, reduce the amount of water or add a few ice cubes.
- For a vegan version, substitute the whey protein powder with a plant-based protein powder.
- Feel free to add a sweetener like honey or a banana if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- Store any extra smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
