Green Healthy Smoothie Recipe


One of my goals this year is to try to eat healthier and cut my "bad" sugar intake at least in half. I have tried creating different options for breakfast and a green smoothie is the easiest thing for me to do, specially because it doesn't require a lot of time. I have to say that I have experimented with different ingredients and some of them just taste not good when mixed together, but the next recipe is one that is acceptable to my taste : ).

You will need:

A handful of fresh spinach
Half a banana
A small red apple
Half a cup of water
A hint of lemon juice (about two tablespoons)

Cut the ingredients into small pieces and blend them all together until you reach a smooth consistency. You will end up with a smoothie that you can have on the go, if you are busy like me, and it only takes about 5 minutes. If you would like yours cold, you can freeze the banana but I prefer mine at room temperature in the winter.
