Instructions
Making your revitalizing Apple Cinnamon Green Smoothie is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients listed above. Wash the spinach thoroughly and chop the apple and banana as needed.
2. Blend Greens: In a blender, add the fresh spinach and almond milk first. Blend until the spinach is fully incorporated and there are no visible chunks remaining.
3. Add Fruits & Cinnamon: Next, add the chopped apple, banana, and ground cinnamon to the blender. Blend again until smooth and creamy.
4. Sweeten If Desired: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup to taste. Blend once more to combine.
5. Add Chia Seeds: For added nutrients, optional chia seeds can be added at this stage. Blend briefly to mix.
6. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency. Blend again.
7. Serve Immediately: Once blended to your satisfaction, pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy it fresh!
