Instructions
Step-by-Step: Green Smoothie Recipe
- Start by washing your leafy greens thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. If you’re using fresh fruit, peel and chop it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- In your blender, add the leafy greens first. This helps them blend more easily. Next, add your frozen fruit of choice, followed by the juice or milk. If you like your smoothie a little sweeter, now is the time to add your sweetener.
- Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on the strength of your blender.
- Once blended, taste your smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add more sweetener and blend again for a few seconds. You can also adjust the thickness by adding more liquid if necessary.
- Pour your delicious green smoothie into a glass or smoothie cup, and enjoy immediately! For a fun touch, you can garnish it with a slice of fruit or a sprinkle of granola on top.
Notes
- Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Freeze smoothie in ice cube trays for convenient future use.
- Customize sweetness and thickness by adjusting sweetener and liquid amounts.
