Ingredients
  

For the Smoothie
  • 2 cups fresh spinach Provides a nutrient boost; swap with kale for a richer flavor.
  • 2 medium green apples Adds a burst of tartness; Granny Smith is ideal for a crisp taste.
  • 1 large seedless cucumber Offers hydration and crunch; zucchini can serve as a great substitute.
  • 4 pieces pitted dates Infuses natural sweetness; maple syrup or honey can also do the trick.
  • 1 inch fresh ginger Brings a zesty kick; opt for fresh ginger for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk Gives creaminess; feel free to use any dairy or non-dairy milk of your choice.
  • 1 cup ice Essential for that chilly, refreshing quality; adjust the amount to achieve your desired thickness.

Equipment

  • High-speed blender

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash all your fresh ingredients thoroughly. Chop the spinach into smaller pieces for easy blending. Core and slice the green apples, preferably Granny Smith.
  2. Peel a small piece of fresh ginger, then slice it into manageable chunks. Lastly, chop your seedless cucumber into quarters.
  3. In a high-speed blender, combine the prepared spinach, sliced green apples, cucumber pieces, pitted dates, and ginger. Pour in about a cup of unsweetened almond milk and blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds.
  4. Once the mixture is smooth, add the ice and blend again for 20 to 30 seconds until you achieve a thick, frosty consistency.
  5. Pour your smoothie into chilled glasses immediately. Consider garnishing with cucumber slices or chia seeds for an extra touch.
