Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Ensure the spinach and strawberries are frozen. This helps to create a thick, cold smoothie.
- Peel the ginger root with a peeler or a small knife and roughly chop it into small pieces.
2. Blend the Ingredients:
- Add the frozen spinach (1 cup) to the blender first. Adding the greens at the bottom helps with easier blending.
- Follow with the frozen strawberries (1 cup).
- Next, add the roughly chopped ginger root (1 tbsp).
- Finally, pour in the almond milk (1/2 cup).
3. Blend Until Smooth:
- Secure the lid on the blender and start blending on a low speed to gently break up the frozen ingredients.
- Gradually increase the speed to high and blend until the mixture is completely smooth, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk in small increments and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
4. Taste and Adjust:
- Stop the blender and taste the smoothie. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can add a touch of honey or a few drops of stevia, then blend again.
5. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into a glass.
- For an extra touch, you can garnish with a strawberry slice or a sprinkle of chia seeds if you like.
6. Enjoy!
- Serve immediately while chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Strawberry, spinach and ginger green smoothie FAQ:

How long does it take to blend the smoothie?

Blend the smoothie for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth. Start on low speed to break up the frozen ingredients, then gradually increase to high.

What can I substitute for almond milk in this smoothie?

You can substitute almond milk with any other non-dairy milk like soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. If you prefer a dairy option, regular milk or yogurt can also work.

How should I store leftover smoothie?

If you have leftover smoothie, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before consuming, as some separation may occur.

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen in this smoothie?

Yes, you can use fresh spinach, but the smoothie may not be as thick. Consider adding ice to achieve a similar frosty consistency.

What can I add to enhance the nutrition of this smoothie?

You can add ingredients like chia seeds, flaxseeds, protein powder, or a banana for extra creaminess and nutritional benefits. Adjust the liquid if necessary.

Tips:

- Ensure that your spinach and strawberries are properly frozen before blending. This helps achieve a creamy and thick texture.

- Peel your ginger root to avoid any fibrous texture in your smoothie.

- Start with less ginger if you're new to its flavor, as it can be quite strong. You can always add more to taste.

- If you prefer a thinner consistency, gradually add more almond milk until you reach your desired thickness.

- For added sweetness, you can toss in a ripe banana or a teaspoon of honey.

- Blend the smoothie thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined and you achieve a smooth consistency.

- Feel free to add superfoods like chia seeds, flax seeds, or a scoop of protein powder for an extra nutritional boost.
