If you have never tried a green smoothie, start here. Baby spinach is so mild that the apple dominates the taste, while the colour turns a bright leafy green.
30 g
baby spinach
1
apple
5 oz
water
1 tsp
lemon juice for freshness (optional)
Garnish: An apple slice · Ice: Served up, no ice
Fresh, fruity and light; the apple leads, the spinach adds a soft green note.
Baby spinach is the most beginner-friendly green for smoothies: its leaves are tender, blend easily and taste much milder than mature spinach or kale. It provides folate and vitamin K, among other nutrients.
A sweet red apple supplies juice and sweetness, and a few drops of lemon keep the flavour bright and slow down browning. A light smoothie for the morning or a fresh break in the afternoon.
Hardly. Baby spinach is very mild, and the apple dominates.
Yes, use about 30 g of frozen leaf spinach and less water.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
