01 -

It takes less than five minutes from counter to cup, perfect for rushed mornings or post-workout refueling.
The ginger gives it a zingy warmth that makes you feel like you're doing something truly good for your body.
It's creamy without any dairy, thanks to the avocado, and naturally sweetened by the banana and apple.

02 -

If your blender isn't powerful, blend the spinach and liquid first, then add the fruit so it doesn't get chunky.
Don't skip the lemon juice, it's what makes the whole thing taste bright instead of muddy.
Frozen banana is a game changer, it makes the smoothie thick and cold without watering it down with ice.

03 -

Add a handful of ice cubes if you forgot to freeze the banana, it still works and stays cold.
If you want it sweeter without sugar, toss in a couple of pitted dates before blending.
For extra protein, stir in a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder after blending so it stays smooth.
