Three ingredients from the fridge and freezer are all you need. The frozen berries chill the drink and dye it dark purple, and the apple keeps it sweet and juicy.
1
red apple
15 g
baby spinach
80 g
frozen mixed berries
5 oz
water
Garnish: A few berries · Ice: Served up, no ice
Apple Smoothie with Berry Mix and Spinach
Tangy and fruity, with a cold, thick body and a sweet apple note; the spinach is barely noticeable.
This is the pared-down version of the apple, pear and berry smoothie: without the pear, it is a little tarter and fresher. The red apple provides sweetness and juice, frozen berries bring acidity, color and a cold, thick texture, and baby spinach disappears completely into the purple while adding folate and vitamin K.
Because the berries come straight from the freezer, you need neither ice nor fresh fruit in season, which makes it practical all year. It is a fast breakfast or post-workout drink, and it is also a good way to introduce greens to people who are skeptical of them.
Yes, but add a few ice cubes, as the smoothie will otherwise be thinner and less cold.
Hardly; the berries dominate both flavor and color.
Yes, it contains only fruit, spinach and water.
