How to make a perfect green smoothie

Making this green smoothie couldn’t be simpler!

Start by prepping your produce: core and chop the apple, roughly chop the celery, and peel the ginger and turmeric if using them fresh. Add the apple, celery, spinach, date, lime juice, flaxseeds, almond milk, turmeric, ginger, and ice cubes to a high-speed blender.
Secure the lid and blend on high for about 2 minutes, or until the smoothie is completely smooth.
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately while it’s cold and frothy.

Tips from my kitchen

Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add an extra date or a splash more almond milk.
Control the spice: Ginger can be powerful, so start small and add more if you love that spicy kick.
Make it extra cold: Freeze the chopped apple ahead of time or add more ice cubes for an ultra-chilled smoothie.
Blend longer if needed: For the smoothest texture, let the blender run a little longer, especially to really blend up that date which can tend to take longer.
