Equipment
- high speed blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced cucumber
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 apple cored and cubed
- 1 banana fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ¾ cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
Instructions
- Combine sliced cucumber, spinach, diced apple, banana, chia seeds, almond milk, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Add ice if you prefer an extra-chilled, refreshing drink!
Notes
- Store the leftover smoothie in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Before drinking, give it a good shake or stir to mix it up.
- For a thicker and colder smoothie, use a frozen banana instead of ice.
- Taste your smoothie before serving and, if needed, add a date or 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or agave for extra sweetness.
- If you're using ice, add it just before serving to keep the smoothie chilled without watering it down too much.
