Green Sunshine Smoothie

Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 2 People

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups frozen spinach
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 cup frozen mango or pineapple
  • 1 orange peeled*
  • 1 small or ½ large lemon peeled*
  • ½ banana ( fresh or frozen)
  • ¼ cup hulled hemp seeds
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 1-inch knob ginger
  • Pinch of salt
  • *If you’re worried about eating citrus seeds, you can just use the juice from one lemon and remove the seeds from your orange. I don’t bother!
  • Note: I love keeping frozen spinach on hand for smoothies. It’s actually a lot higher in nutrients than fresh store-bought spinach and you get way more bang for your buck!

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.

Notes

Substitutions:

  • You can substitute fresh spinach for frozen. 1 ½ cups frozen spinach is equal to around 8 oz fresh, which is like 7-8 cups (this is why I like to buy frozen for smoothies)! I would just add 3 cups fresh…
  • You can sub any frozen fruit for the mango/pineapple.
  • Use any nut or seed butter

Storage:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Leftovers + Repurposing:

  • Shake up leftovers before drinking!
