If you don't have spinach, you can use kale or Swiss chard as alternatives. Both provide similar nutritional benefits and a green color, but they may alter the taste slightly.

What kind of apple works best for this smoothie?

Sweet varieties like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala work well for this smoothie, as they balance nicely with the ginger and mint. Tart apples like Granny Smith can also be used for a sharper flavor.
