Spinach Apple Banana Green Smoothie

I have quickly implemented Green Smoothies into my morning and everyday routine and couldn't be happier! They are filled with nutrients and let me use veggies and fruits that I either normally wouldn't consume on a regular basis or just have extra lying around. The great thing about them is that you can combine almost anything to make a yummy smoothie combo and it's just as simple as google searching the ingredients you have to find tons of different recipes.

Ingredients

• 1 cup spinach leaves

• 1 large apple, cored and quartered (I used Granny Smith)

• 1 large banana (the riper the better)

• 1/2 cold water or crushed ice

• 1 tsp Chia seeds (I got mine from Trader Joes)

Step 1: After playing around with how to combine everything, I decided to put the water and spinach in first and then add the rest of your ingredients. 

Step 2: Blend all ingredients until the chunks are mixed in and consistency is smooth. 

I LOVE how green and nutritious this smoothie is! Spinach definitely gives it a lighter green hue than kale, but still provides you with a ton of vitamins and nutrients your body needs to run tip top. Chia seeds are a great addition to any smoothie because they help control hunger and provide super nutrients. They also are whole grain and can be easily absorbed in your body without adding any gross taste to your food. Try it out!!

ENJOY!!
