Step 1: Create Your Leafy Green Base
- Start by adding the fresh spinach, water, and peeled lemon to your blender. Blend these ingredients together until you reach a smooth, juice-like consistency.
Step 2: Add Remaining Ingredients and Blend
- Now, add the rest of your ingredients to the blender: the cored and chopped fennel bulb, celery stalk, cored green apple, peeled fresh gingerroot, the two tablespoons of chia seeds, your 1/4 cup of cucumber, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend everything together until it's completely smooth and creamy, with no chunky bits remaining. You might need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is incorporated perfectly. Aim for a velvety smooth texture that just glides down!
Notes
For the smoothest blend, especially with a regular blender, grate the ginger and dice the apple and fennel into smaller pieces. Use at least one frozen ingredient for a refreshingly cold smoothie without dilution. The lemon pith is nutrient-dense; try to keep as much as possible. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 24-48 hours, or freeze in portions for up to 1-2 months. Customize sweetness, thickness, and tanginess to your preference by adding dates, maple syrup, banana, or extra lemon juice.
