Green Smoothie

A refreshing green smoothie made with spinach, kale, fresh fruit, cucumber, celery and parsley. Frozen mango and pineapple add natural sweetness and give the smoothie a cold, creamy texture.


Servings: About 4
Prep Time: About 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 handful baby spinach
  • 1 handful baby kale
  • 1 whole lemon, quartered
  • 2 small apples, such as Gala
  • 2 cucumbers
  • 1 celery stalk
  • ½ cup fresh parsley
  • About ½ cup frozen mango
  • About ½ cup frozen pineapple
  • About 2 cups cold water
  • 1–2 handfuls ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the fruit and vegetables as necessary so they will fit easily into the blender.
  2. Add the ingredients to a high-powered blender, such as a Vitamix, in the following order: water and other liquid ingredients first, followed by frozen fruit, cucumbers, apples and celery, and finally the spinach, kale and parsley.
  3. Add the ice.
  4. Start the blender on low speed to begin incorporating the ingredients.
  5. Gradually increase to high speed and blend until completely smooth or until the smoothie reaches your preferred consistency.
  6. Add additional cold water or ice if needed to adjust the consistency and serve immediately.

Cook’s Note: The amounts of frozen mango and pineapple don’t need to be exact. Add them to taste depending on how fruity and sweet you want the finished smoothie.
