Ingredients
  • 2 cups Spinach
  • 1 Frozen Banana
  • 1 cup Almond Milk (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 Green Apple (cored)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Flax Seeds

Preparation

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Ensure all ingredients are washed, measured, and ready to blend. Freezing the banana beforehand will give the smoothie a thicker, creamier texture.

Blending

Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a high-powered blender, combine the spinach, frozen banana, almond milk, green apple, lemon juice, and flax seeds.

Blending Process

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk until desired consistency is reached. If it's too tart, add a touch of maple syrup or honey.

Serving

Step 4: Serve Immediately
Pour the Green Power Smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. Garnish with a slice of apple or a sprinkle of flax seeds for an added visual appeal.
