Apple and Peanut Butter Green Smoothie
This is a beginner’s green smoothie, or a green smoothie for individuals who in their true inner being would actually rather be eating fried eggs with ketchup and extra crispy hash browns and toast with butter at darcy’s diner every morning, but are looking to add some reasonable nutrition without going full on brain dust.
Ingredients:
1 honeycrisp apple, chopped
1 squeeze of lemon juice
2 heaping tb (40g-ish) unsweetened peanut butter or almond butter
1 oz (about 1/2 c firmly packed or a nice big handful) fresh spinach
3 oz (about 1 1/2 c firmly packed or 3 big handfuls) fresh chopped kale
6 large ice cubes
1/2 c cold water (i just stream water in from my tap for 2 seconds)
optional additions: a few shakes of turmeric, a small chunk of ginger, 2 chopped celery stalks
super seed mix, for topping, optional
Method:
In a high speed blender (and in this specific order), add the apple, lemon juice, peanut butter or almond butter, turmeric/ginger/celery (if using), spinach, kale, ice cubes, and water and blend on high for about the time it takes you to refill your ice cube tray and stick it back in the freezer, or until very smooth. pour into glasses, sprinkle with super seed mix, if using, and enjoy.
