Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 cup kale
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium green apple
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1.5 cups water
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables and the green apple thoroughly under running water.
Peel the cucumber and carrot, and then cut them into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Core the green apple and cut it into chunks, leaving the skin on for added fiber.
Chop the celery stalks into smaller pieces.
Add the spinach and kale to the blender first, followed by the cucumber, celery, carrot, green apple, and ice cubes.
Grate or finely chop the fresh ginger and sprinkle it into the blender.
Pour in the lemon juice and water.
Blend everything on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the flavor with additional lemon juice if needed.
Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for maximum freshness.
