Morning routines, we all have them, right? I usually wake up, exercise, get ready, and then prepare a juice or blend to kickstart the day. Into my trusty blender goes what I think is a great concoction of fruits and vegetables. Sometimes it's yummy (winner!), and then sometimes, very occasionally, I get a message from my husband saying, "What's in this? Maybe don't try this one again." Oops, sorry love. ☺ That's the price of experimentation, I guess? However, my friends, this green blend recipe is a winner! It's vibrant, fresh, and packed full of greens.
Down this green blend as a powerful kickstart to your morning or add it as a great addition to lunch or dinner. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 green apple
- 1 Lebanese cucumber
- 1 large handful of baby spinach
- 1 handful of kale (about 6 small leaves)
- 1 stick of celery
- ½ a pear
- 1 cm piece of fresh ginger, grated
- ½ fresh lime, squeezed
- ½ a cup of water
- 1 cup of ice
Method
- Add all the ingredients, apart from the ice, into a blender. Add leafy greens first as they seem to blend best if they are closest to the blender blades.
- Blend all the ingredients until combined.
- Add in the ice and pulse the blender a few times. (I find adding the ice in after the first blend keeps it a bit cooler and more textured)
- Pour into glasses and serve.
- Drink up, get that green goodness into you!
