Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Peel and slice the banana into small pieces for easy blending.
- Rinse the celery stalks and chop them into smaller pieces.
- Peel the ginger root and chop it finely or grate it.
- In a high-speed blender, add the 3 cups of spinach. Ensure it's well-packed to get the full amount.
- Add the 1/2 scoop of whey protein powder.
- Toss in the 1/2 cup of sliced banana.
- Add the chopped celery stalks.
- Add the finely chopped or grated 1/2 tbsp of ginger root.
- Pour in the 1 tbsp of lime juice for a refreshing tang.
- For easier blending, add a liquid of choice. It can be water, almond milk, or coconut water, whichever you prefer. Start with about 1 cup and adjust as needed for desired consistency.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes, depending on the power of your blender. If the mixture is too thick, add more liquid in small increments until the desired consistency is reached.
- Taste your smoothie and adjust as necessary. You can add a bit more lime juice for extra tang, more banana for sweetness, or even a touch of honey or maple syrup if you need additional sweetness.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. For an extra touch, you can garnish with a slice of lime or a small piece of celery.
- Taste the freshness with every sip and feel rejuvenated with this green detox smoothie packed with protein and essential nutrients!
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach to ensure maximum nutrient content and a vibrant green color.
- If you prefer a colder smoothie, freeze the banana slices beforehand or add a few ice cubes.
- Experiment with different types of protein powder if you have dietary restrictions or taste preferences.
- Peel and finely chop the ginger root before blending to ensure it integrates smoothly into the drink.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice to suit your taste—more juice will add extra tanginess.
- Consider adding a splash of water or your favorite plant-based milk if the smoothie is too thick.
