2 bananas
1 large apple
70 g spinach
30 g flaxseeds

Liquids and Sweeteners:

Juice of 2 oranges
2 tablespoons honey

Preparation Time

Total: 10 minutes

Step-by-Step Instruction

Prepare the oranges: Start by extracting the juice from two large oranges. Pour the fresh juice into your blender. The citrusy flavor enhances the smoothie’s freshness.
Avocado preparation: Peel and pit the avocados. The creamy texture of the avocado adds a smooth element to the drink. Add them to the blender.
Add bananas: Peel the bananas and add them to the blender. They add natural sweetness and a thick consistency.
Prepare the apple: Core the large apple, leaving the skin on for extra nutrients, and toss it into the blender.
Initial blending: Blend the fruits on a medium speed until you have a smooth mixture. This stage prepares the base for your smoothie.
Add the greens: Introduce the spinach to your blend. The spinach is subtle in flavor but packed with vitamins.
Flaxseeds for texture: Add the flaxseeds, which are a great source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
Sweetness from honey: Infuse the mixture with two tablespoons of honey, which provides a natural sweetness.
Final blending: Blend thoroughly on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This ensures all ingredients are well combined.
Adjust thickness: If desired, adding a bit of water or more juice can adjust the thickness of the smoothie to your liking.
Check the sweetness: Taste your smoothie. Add additional honey if it needs extra sweetness.
Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass for best results.
Garnish (optional): Top with a slice of orange or a sprinkling of flaxseeds.
Enjoy chilled: The smoothie is best enjoyed cold, so consider adding a few ice cubes to the blender if desired.
Cleaning tip: Rinse the blender immediately after use for easier cleaning. 16-20. Storage suggestion: If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, although fresh is best!

Tips

For a vegan alternative, replace honey with maple syrup.
