Spinach, orange, apple and avocado smoothie FAQ:

How long can I store the smoothie in the refrigerator?

It’s best to consume the smoothie immediately for optimal flavor and nutrition. However, if needed, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Note that separation may occur, so shake or stir before consuming.

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen apples or orange segments for a chilled smoothie. Just be mindful that frozen fruits may result in a thicker texture that may require additional water to blend smoothly.

What can I use as a substitute for avocado?

If you don't have avocado, you can use a banana for a similar creamy texture. Keep in mind that this will alter the flavor slightly and increase the sweetness of the smoothie.

How do I know if my smoothie is blended enough?

Your smoothie is ready when it has a smooth, creamy consistency without any chunks of fruit or leafy greens. If needed, blend for an additional 10-15 seconds until the desired texture is achieved.

Can I add protein powder or other supplements to this smoothie?

Yes, you can add protein powder or other supplements such as chia seeds or flaxseeds to enhance the nutritional profile. Just be mindful of the additional flavors and adjust the other ingredients as needed.

Tips:

- Make sure to wash all produce thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides.

- If you prefer a colder smoothie, use frozen spinach or chill your fruit beforehand.

- You can adjust the water quantity to achieve your desired consistency.

- Consider adding a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.

- Blend in stages, starting with the liquids and greens to help the process.
