The Green Go-Getter Smoothie

Packed with green spinach and apples, this creamy green smoothie will kick off your morning with a boost of essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and an absolutely amazing taste. The combination of bananas, apples, and spinach—with more fruit than greens—provides an appetizing, sweeter taste and lessens the intensity of the spinach. This smoothie is a great one to start with if you’re turned off by the strong, somewhat bitter taste of greens.

2 cups baby spinach

2 medium green apples, peeled and cored

1 peeled and frozen banana

1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups green tea, cooled

  1. Combine all ingredients and blend on high until smooth.
