A green apple is the easiest way to make a leafy smoothie taste good. Its sharp acidity and light sweetness carry the spinach, and parsley adds a clean herbal note.
30 g
baby spinach
10 g
flat-leaf parsley
1
green apple cored
5 oz
water
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Tart and crisp, with apple freshness up front and a grassy, herbal finish.
Green apples such as Granny Smith are among the tartest apple varieties and keep their fresh taste when blended. Spinach contributes colour and volume with little flavour of its own, and parsley brings a fresh, slightly peppery herb aroma.
This is a good first green smoothie: fruity enough to drink easily, but clearly green. It fits a light breakfast or an afternoon drink and needs nothing but a blender and five minutes.
Yes, it contains only greens, apple and water.
Yes, though flat-leaf parsley tastes more aromatic and is easier to blend.
It is best fresh. Lemon juice helps if you want to keep it a few hours in the fridge.
