When I first made this 3 Ingredient Apple Spinach Smoothie, it was one of those mornings when I wanted something quick, green, and full of life, but not too healthy, like pancakes. I added a cold splash of almond milk, a crisp apple, and a handful of baby spinach. The blender came to life in seconds. The color was the first thing that caught my heart. It was a bright, spring green that looked like energy in a glass. Then there was the smell, fresh, fruity, and clean, like dew on the grass in the morning.
The first sip was like magic. The apple made it sweet, the almond milk made it creamy, and the spinach made it taste like the earth. It tastes good and gives you that “I’m doing something good for myself” feeling without being hard to do. It makes me think of my favorite light drinks, like the Beetroot and Carrot Juice or the Coconut Mojito Recipe, which are both easy to make, refreshing, and good for you.
Since then, I’ve made this smoothie many times. Sometimes I add chia seeds for texture, and other times I blend in ice cubes on hot summer mornings. This recipe will make you feel good right away. It’s bright, energizing, and full of flavor that wakes you up. This Apple Spinach Smoothie tastes like self-care in a cup, full of green energy and good for you, whether it’s a busy weekday or a lazy Sunday.
