Limemade Green Smoothie
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach Leaves, Packed
- 1 whole Green Apple, Sliced
- 1 whole Banana, Cut Into Chunks
- 1/2 whole English Cucumber, Skins Removed
- 1 whole Large Lime, Peeled And Quartered
- 1/4 cups Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (Plain Or Vanilla)
- 1 piece (1/4-Inch Long Piece) Fresh Ginger Root, Peeled
- 2 cups Ice
- Combine all ingredients in a powerful blender, such as a Blendtec, and blend until smooth.
- Notes:
- Optional add-ins: 1/2 of an avocado; 1 cup of kale in place of one of the cups of spinach; 1 large pinch of cinnamon; milk (soy, almond, cow's milk, etc.) instead of Greek yogurt; regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt; flax seed, chia seed, orange juice, pomegranate juice.
- Jar individual servings and store them in the refrigerator if you plan to drink the smoothies within a couple of days.
- Make a couple of big batches ahead of time and store in the freezer. Set the smoothie out 30-45 minutes before you plan to drink it; I put mine in the fridge overnight and then take them out of the fridge when I get up in the morning; they are perfectly thawed after a night in the fridge.
