Spinach Smoothie For a quick energy boost,
It’s a healthy treat with fruit and veggies like pineapple, banana, and apples. Each sip contains a nutrient-rich combination of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Recipe Science
- Baby spinach breaks down into tiny particles in a blender, resulting in a vibrant hue with minimal taste impact.
- When the blender blades chop frozen fruit, the solidified juice crystals hold their shape and create a substantial mouthfeel.
- Using frozen fruit doesn’t dilute the smoothie flavor as it melts compared to ice cubes.
Why It Works
When I envision Popeye gulping down spinach for instant strength, it amusingly mirrors the natural health benefits of this leafy green. Spinach is packed with nutrients and antioxidants like magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, vitamin C, and soluble fiber.
The good news is that spinach can barely be tasted when combined with diced apples, frozen bananas, and pineapple. Other elements like Greek yogurt and almond milk provide protein, creaminess, and probiotics in each glass. This refreshing and satisfying drink can be made in 10 minutes and will energize you.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Spinach: I use the baby spinach variety หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ because the leaves are extremely tender, require no extra preparation, and have very little bitterness.
- Pineapples: Use frozen pineapple chunks or, when in season, freeze fresh pieces.
- Banana: Slice ½ cup of ripe bananas to add sweetness and a creamy texture from the starches in the fruit. Freeze the slices for a thicker consistency.
- Apples: Chopped apples add soluble and insoluble fibers to the smoothie. For a sweeter flavor, use Fuiji or your favorite red apple. Granny Smith green apples add a refreshing tartness. The pureed pulp also helps to make the smoothie thicker.
- Yogurt: Add plain Greek yogurt boost of protein and probiotics.
- Almond Milk: The liquid helps puree the smoothie and adds a subtle nutty flavor.
- Ice: Ice cubes add thickness to the beverage.
