Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup cranberries
  • 1 orange (peeled)
  • 1/2 banana (frozen)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger for a flavor boost
  • squeeze fresh lime juice for a flavor boost

Equipment

  • blender
  • glass

Method
 

Step 1: Blend Spinach and Water
  1. Place the spinach and water in your blender. Puree until completely smooth. Blending the spinach with water first helps to break it down, preventing a gritty texture in the final smoothie.
Step 2: Add Fruit and Blend Again
  1. Add the cranberries, peeled orange, and frozen banana to the blender. Blend until the smoothie is a uniform color and consistency, free of any large chunks. It should be smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Pour and Enjoy
  1. Pour your Cranberry Spinach Smoothie into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger!

Notes

For a creamier and richer flavor, substitute the water with almond milk or coconut water. This smoothie is naturally gluten-free.
