Looks can be deceiving! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how delicious this tastes and you will feel so healthy after drinking it. The flavors go together really well and it’s definitely a great way to start the day, cleanse your body, and increase the amount of antioxidants and vegetables in your diet. By using a blender instead of a juicer, you will benefit by getting more fiber too.
In a blender, add the following in order:
- 1 Apple, cored and chopped into 1/2 inch pieces (not peeled) — I like Gala Apples
- 3/4 of 1 English Cucumber (not peeled — I recommend English Cucumbers since the skin is thinner and they are seedless so easily digestible
- Fresh Spinach Leaves, 2 big handfuls
- Juice of 1/2 Lemon (optional: include some of the zest, but avoid the white pith)
- Ginger, a small 1/4 inch slice, peeled and finely grated (Optional)
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups of water
Start with low-speed and move up to the highest speed. Makes 2 servings.

I’ve had a hard time finding green smoothies that are as nutritious as they look. This one fits the bill! I’m going to try this one tomorrow morning! Thank you!
I made another one yesterday with 1 banana, 1 orange, 1 tangerine, 2 small hearts of romaine lettuce and 2 cups of H2O that was tasty too. Enjoy!
