Fresh and fruity, sweet red apple, a tart green apple edge and a light leafy note.
Apple and spinach are a classic entry into green smoothies: the apple is familiar and sweet enough to mask the mild spinach. Combining a sweet red apple with a tart green one gives a more rounded flavour than either alone. Baby spinach is tender and mild, so it blends smoothly. Cooled fruit tea replaces juice and keeps the sugar content moderate. It is a light, vegan smoothie for breakfast or the afternoon.
Very little. Baby spinach is mild and the apples dominate.
Yes, it contains only fruit, spinach and tea.
It is best fresh, as apple browns. Kept airtight in the fridge it lasts a few hours.
