Ingredients:

2 cups spinach
60g
1/2 cup water
120g
1 apple
180g
1/2 cup greek yogurt
120g
2 ice cubes
44g
1 tbsp ginger root
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash the spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Core the apple and chop it into medium-sized pieces. No need to peel the apple unless you prefer a smoother texture.
- Peel the ginger root and cut it into small pieces or grate it finely.
2. Blending:
- Add the spinach to your blender first. This will help ensure the leafy greens blend smoothly.
- Pour in the water to help the blending process.
- Add the chopped apple pieces.
- Spoon in the Greek yogurt for a creamy texture.
- Add the ice cubes for a refreshing chill.
- Finally, add the peeled and chopped or grated ginger.
3. Blend:
- Secure the lid on your blender.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks of spinach, apple, or ginger.
4. Taste and Adjust:
- Taste your smoothie and adjust if necessary. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a small amount of honey or a few drops of your favorite sweetener.
- For a thinner consistency, add a bit more water and blend again.
5. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and nutritional benefits.

Tips:

- Freeze the spinach: For an even cooler and thicker smoothie, consider freezing your spinach ahead of time. This will also help preserve its nutrients.

- Peel the ginger first: Make sure to peel your ginger root before adding it to the blender. This helps to avoid any fibrous texture in your smoothie.

- Use a high-speed blender: A high-speed blender will ensure that the ingredients are well combined and the smoothie is smooth and free of chunks.

- Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey or a few pineapple chunks. Alternatively, use a sweeter variety of apple.

- Add protein: To make your smoothie more filling, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds.

Enjoy your delicious and revitalizing Green Spinach, Apple, and Ginger Smoothie! This blend of healthy ingredients not only tastes great but also supports your overall well-being. Feel free to experiment with the quantities or add other fruits and veggies to suit your taste.
