TIPS
- For Cooler Blend: Use cold coconut water or add a few ice cubes for a cooler blend.
- To Boost Creaminess: Slice and freeze the avocado ahead of time to boost creaminess without needing a banana.
- Smoother Consistency: Blend spinach first with coconut water for a softer consistency before adding the rest.
- For Brightness: Choose a crisp and tart apple like Granny Smith for brightness that balances the avocado.
VARIATIONS
- Protein Swap: Use a flavoured protein like vanilla or matcha for a flavour twist.
- Fruit Additions: Add pineapple or kiwi to complement the green profile and boost vitamin C.
- Thicker Texture: Toss in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds before blending to thicken naturally.
- Superfood Boost: Mix in a teaspoon of spirulina or wheatgrass for added chlorophyll.
- Nut-Free Option: It is already nut-free, but always check your protein powder for allergens if necessary.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Prepping: Prepare and freeze spinach, avocado and apple in a portioned container for faster morning prep.
- Storage: Consume immediately after blending to preserve nutrients and colour. If needed, refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 12 hours. Stir before eating.
- Freezing: The smoothie base can be frozen in silicone moulds or an airtight container for up to 1 week. Thaw overnight in the fridge before consuming.
