Optional Add-ins:

  • 1 scoop of protein powder (for extra protein)
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter (for healthy fats)
  • A handful of ice cubes (if using fresh fruits)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • If you haven't already, freeze the banana for a thicker, creamier texture.
    • Wash and chop the spinach, kale, and cucumber.
    • Grate the fresh ginger and juice the lemon.
  2. Blend the Ingredients:
    • In a high-speed blender, add the spinach, kale, banana, avocado, pineapple chunks, cucumber, chia seeds, flax seeds, grated ginger, lemon juice, and coconut water.
    • If you’re using any optional add-ins like protein powder, almond butter, or ice cubes, add them now.
  3. Blend until Smooth:
    • Blend all the ingredients on high until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender.
  4. Taste and Adjust:
    • Taste the smoothie and adjust as needed. If it's too thick, add a bit more coconut water. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a small amount of honey or a natural sweetener like stevia.
  5. Serve:
    • Pour the smoothie into a glass or a portable smoothie bottle.
    • Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
