The Sunshine Green Smoothie
This blend balances the earthy notes of leafy greens with the bright, citrusy sweetness of fresh oranges.
Ingredients
-
2 cups Fresh baby spinach (densely packed)
-
2 Medium oranges (peeled and seeds removed)
-
1 Large banana (frozen is best for a creamy texture)
-
1 tablespoon Chia seeds
-
1/2 cup Liquid base (water, coconut water, or unsweetened almond milk)
-
Optional: A squeeze of lime or a small piece of fresh ginger for extra zing.
Instructions
-
Layer the Blender: Start by adding your liquid base and the fresh spinach.
-
Blend the Greens: Pulse until the spinach and liquid are completely smooth. This “greens-first” step ensures you don’t end up with leafy bits in your straw.
-
Add the Fruit: Add the peeled oranges and the frozen banana chunks.
-
The Final Mix: Blend on high speed until the texture is thick, creamy, and bright green.
-
The Finishing Touch: Stir in the chia seeds at the end or sprinkle them on top to maintain their texture.
