Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine 1 cup of water (240g) and the spinach. Blend until the spinach is well incorporated and smooth.
- Add the chopped cucumber, frozen strawberries, sliced banana, and chopped apple to the blender.
- Pour in the lemon juice (3 tsp).
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup of water (120g) to the blender. This will help achieve the desired consistency.
- Blend all the ingredients together until you obtain a smooth and creamy texture. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well mixed.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more water and blend again until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses.
- Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Tips:
- To make your smoothie even colder and more refreshing, freeze the banana and apple pieces ahead of time.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of water or add a little more frozen strawberries.
- For added sweetness without extra sugar, try adding a few pitted dates or a teaspoon of honey.
- Use a high-speed blender to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Feel free to replace spinach with other leafy greens like kale or Swiss chard.
