1 banana

1 cup coconut water or almond milk

Instructions

Prepare spinach: Rinse your spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel or salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
Blend spinach and liquid: Place the spinach in your blender, then add the coconut water or almond milk. Blend on high until smooth and free of leafy chunks.
Add fruits and other ingredients: Add the chopped apple, banana, honey, and flax seeds to the blender with the spinach mixture.
Blend until creamy: Blend again on high speed until the mixture is creamy, smooth, and well combined, ensuring the flax seeds are fully incorporated.
Add ice and final blend: Add the ice cubes to the blender. Blend for about 30 seconds until the smoothie is chilled and has a frothy texture.
Serve and enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or substitute with agave syrup if preferred.
Swap the banana for Greek yogurt to add extra protein.
Use almond milk instead of coconut water for a creamier texture.
For an even healthier smoothie, soak flax seeds briefly before blending for easier digestion.
Consume immediately for the best taste and to retain maximum nutrient content.
