A refreshing and cleansing green smoothie featuring fresh ginger and vibrant greens, perfect for a natural energy boost and detox support.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves (about 60 g)
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
  • 1 small green apple, cored and chopped
  • 1/2 medium cucumber, peeled if preferred
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, about 15 g)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml) or preferred plant-based milk
  • A handful of ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Wash the spinach thoroughly to remove any grit. Peel and chop the ginger into small pieces. Chop the green apple and cucumber into chunks. Peel and slice the banana.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk into your blender first.
  3. Add 2 cups (60 g) of fresh spinach, chopped green apple, cucumber, banana, and chopped ginger into the blender.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle 1 tablespoon (15 g) of chia seeds if using.
  5. Blend on low speed to break down big chunks, then blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy with no visible chunks.
  6. If smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend briefly. If too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
  7. Taste and adjust by adding a pinch of freshly grated ginger or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
  8. Serve immediately for best flavor and nutrient retention.

Notes

Use organic spinach and fresh ginger for best flavor. Freeze banana slices ahead of time for a colder smoothie without watering it down. Add protein powder or Greek yogurt for a protein boost. Swap almond milk with oat or coconut milk for different flavors. Peel ginger well to avoid bitterness. Blend liquids first, then soft fruits, followed by greens and firmer veggies for smooth blending.
