- 1 medium Green apple
- 0.5 medium Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
Wash the spinach, kale, and green apple thoroughly.
Core and chop the green apple into chunks. There’s no need to peel it unless you prefer a smoother texture.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out 1/2 of the flesh.
Add the spinach, kale, frozen banana, almond milk, chopped apple, avocado, lemon juice, and chia seeds to a blender.
If desired, add the honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Top with the ice cubes to give the smoothie a chilled and frothy texture.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. This may take about 1–2 minutes depending on your blender’s power.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or consistency as needed by adding more honey/maple syrup or almond milk.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy!
