Ingredients

  • ½ large cucumber
  • 1 large carrot
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 1/3 cup Italian flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 handfuls of spinach
  • ¼ avocado
  • ½ apple (I like red, but a green one would be bright and fab too)
  • ½ frozen banana

  • 1 Tbs. flaxseeds
  • 1 tsp. spirulina (optional if you can’t find it)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Directions

  1. Instructions
  2. Chop any large veggies into larger chunks.
  3. Place all of the ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth.
  4. Add more almond milk if you like a thinner smoothie, add ice if you like it thicker and icier.
  5. Notes
  6. It's easier to blend a smoothie like this with a high-speed blender, like a Vitamix or Blendtec. I've never used a Blendtec, but I've heard great things about them. I love my Vitamix and highly recommend it. If you don't have a powerful blender, try blending the almond milk and spinach together first, then add the other veggies and smoothie ingredients to blend until smooth.
  7. Optional add-ins: ½-1 cup of honeydew melon, pineapple, or berries; 1-2 Tbs. cocoa powder; scoop of Vega protein powder (or your favorite plant-based protein)
