Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh broccoli florets washed and chopped into small pieces
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples cored and sliced, skin left on for fiber
- 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach packed
- 1.5 cups coconut water chilled
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice prevents oxidation and adds brightness
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for healthy fats and thickness
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional for a frostier texture
Notes
Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours (shake well before drinking). Make-ahead: You can freeze the broccoli, ginger, and apples in a freezer bag for a quick grab-and-blend option. Substitution: Use unsweetened almond milk instead of coconut water for a creamier, nuttier flavor profile.
