If you have never tried a green smoothie, start here. A sweet red apple dominates the flavour, the spinach adds colour and a little yogurt makes it smooth.
1
red apple cored
20 g
baby spinach
2 tbsp
natural yogurt
5 oz
water
Garnish: Apple slice · Ice: Served up, no ice
Mild and fruity, with sweet apple in front, a soft creaminess and only a hint of green.
Apple and spinach is probably the most common green smoothie combination, and for good reason: the apple's sweetness hides the green taste almost completely, and baby spinach is tender enough to blend without fibres.
Spinach contains vitamin K and folate, and apples add fibre. The yogurt softens any remaining edges and adds a little protein. The result is a mild, bright green drink that works well for breakfast.
Hardly. The apple and yogurt dominate the flavour.
Yes, a small portion of frozen leaf spinach works and makes the smoothie colder.
It keeps in a closed bottle in the fridge until the next morning; shake before drinking.
