1 banana, peeled then frozen*
1/2 apple, sliced
1 orange, peeled and sliced
juice of 1 lemon
2 big handfuls spinach
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh ginger (or to taste– I use a little more, I love ginger!)
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any milk)
optional for smoothie bowl: the rest of the apple, raspberries, chia seeds, sliced banana
Make sure you have a strong, powerful blender that will blend up the frozen banana and apple. I like this Ninja or this Vitamix.
Add all of the ingredients to the blender in the order listed. Blend on high for at least 2 minutes or until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Serve and enjoy. Store any leftover smoothie covered in the refrigerator for up to 8-10 hours.
