Green Power
Sharp, fresh and far less sweet than the berry recipes. The spinach mostly colours it — what you taste is apple and ginger.
5 minutes
1 glass, about 400 ml
Green smoothie
- vegan
For one large glass
Ingredients
- 2 large handfuls of spinach leaves
- 1 green apple, cored
- 1/3 cucumber
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
- 180 ml cold water
Step by step
Method
- Roughly dice the apple and cucumber, peel the ginger.
- Put the water, lemon juice and spinach into the blender first.
- Add apple, cucumber and ginger and blend for 60 seconds.
- Taste it: too sharp? A piece of banana rounds it off.
One tip
The lemon juice is not only there for flavour — without it the strong green turns brownish within minutes.
