Sharing is caring!

Today I am sharing my green smoothie recipe. I have been obsessed with green smoothies, it all started with trips to my local juice bar. Now, I’ve been playing with flavors and combinations of fruits and vegetables. Making spinach smoothies, smoothies with apples and adding ginger for that extra bit of healthiness.

If you love green smoothies I think you will enjoy making this recipe and sip, sip, sipping your freshly blended healthy drink. Looking for a different recipe? Try any of our smoothie recipes. 

Green Smoothie

For this smoothie packed with healthy greens, apples, and ginger you can make it as thick as you want, or thin like a juice. Having a good blender is super helpful at making the ingredients easy to drink and well blended. The flavors are bright, the spinach counteracts the tartness of the apples and the other ingredients help balance the flavors. 

This spinach smoothie will serve 2-3

Ingredients

• 2 green apples
• baby spinach (1/2 bag)
• gingerroot
• ice water 3/4 ice to 1/4 water (6-ounces)
• organic apple juice (6-ounces)
• Greek vanilla yogurt (3 tablespoons) Or non-dairy Greek vanilla yogurt 

If you like your smoothies sweeter, you can add a little bit of organic honey. You can make adjustments to make this thinner, leave out ice water. Thicker use all the ingredients. In the video, you can see the variations you can make. Swap out juice for almond milk. Add a bit more ice and spinach. Add chia seeds.

Green smoothies are perfect for breakfast smoothies, snacks, lunch or late afternoon pick me ups. If you make spinach smoothies before or after your work-outs you can add vanilla protein powder.
