Description

This Immune Boosting Sweet Green Smoothie is a refreshing and nutritious blend designed to support your immune system with nutrient-rich ingredients like spinach, green apple, banana, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds. Naturally sweetened with honey and brightened with fresh lemon juice, this smoothie is easy to make, creamy, and perfect for a quick healthful boost any time of day.

Ingredients

Greens and Liquids

  • 1 cup fresh spinach (washed)
  • 1 cup water or coconut water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fruits

  • 1 ripe banana (peeled)
  • 1 green apple (washed and sliced)

Other

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Wash the spinach and green apple thoroughly, peel the banana, and squeeze fresh lemon juice. Measure out the Greek yogurt, honey, chia seeds, and your choice of water or coconut water to ensure all ingredients are ready for blending.
  2. Blend the Greens and Liquids: Add the spinach, lemon juice, and water or coconut water to the blender first. Blend on high speed until the greens are fully liquefied and smooth, ensuring no chunks of leaves remain.
  3. Add Fruits and Creamy Elements: Add the banana, green apple slices, Greek yogurt, honey, and chia seeds to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is silky smooth and evenly combined, creating a luscious green swirl.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or acidity if needed by adding more honey or lemon juice. Blend briefly once more to mix any additions thoroughly.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass or jar and enjoy fresh to benefit from its maximum nutritional content and vibrant flavor.

Notes

  • Use coconut water for a tropical twist and extra electrolytes or plain water for a lighter option.
  • For a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes before blending.
  • Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids; let the smoothie sit for a few minutes if you prefer a thicker texture.
  • Make sure to drink immediately to maximize nutrient intake and flavor.
  • Optional: Substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative to make this smoothie vegan.
