Instructions:
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve immediately while chilled for the best flavor and texture.
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.
