Purple Power Smoothie
Makes about two 16-ounce servings.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup carrots cut into chunks
- 2 cups baby spinach loosely packed
- 1 apple stem and seeds removed
- 1 banana
- 3/4 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks or any other frozen fruit
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 1/2" cube fresh ginger root peeled
- 4-5 ice cubes
- 3/4 cup water or milk/milk-alternative
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the blender. I usually put the carrots at the bottom, so the blender can chop them up first - though I doubt it really matters.
- Blend until smooth.
- Enjoy!
Notes
A lot of people like to use kale instead of spinach in their smoothies - and that's a great choice! Just be aware that it'll probably make your smoothie brown instead of purple. Not the most appealing color, perhaps, but it'll still taste good!
