Recipe Summary:

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 0 minutes
• Total Time: 10 minutes
• Servings: 2
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
• 1 green apple, cored and chopped
• 1 banana, peeled
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred milk)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• Fresh apple slice and additional chia seeds for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a blender, combine the fresh spinach, avocado, chopped green apple, and banana. Blend gently for a few seconds to start breaking down the ingredients.
2. Add in the unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, and honey or maple syrup if you prefer a slightly sweeter smoothie.
3. Toss in the ice cubes and blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk if needed.
4. Pour the smoothie into tall glasses. Top each glass with a sprinkling of chia seeds and a fresh apple slice for that extra burst of color and texture.
5. Enjoy your Green Goddess Smoothie immediately, relishing every nourishing sip!

Helpful Tips:

• For a thicker smoothie, use frozen banana slices.
• If you prefer a vegan option, skip the honey and use maple syrup or a few pitted dates for sweetness.
• Experiment with adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to make this smoothie even more filling.

Storage Instructions:

• Consume the smoothie immediately for the best texture and flavor. If you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.

Ingredient Substitutions:

• If you don’t have green apple, substitute with a pear or kiwi for a similar tart flavor.
• You can replace chia seeds with flax seeds for a different nutrient profile.

Pairings

Pair your Green Goddess Smoothie with a slice of whole grain toast topped with almond butter and banana slices for a complete and satisfying breakfast. A handful of mixed nuts or a boiled egg on the side would also complement this nutritious drink perfectly.
