Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients, ensuring the banana is frozen and chopped, and the lemon peel is removed for a smoother blend.
  2. Blend Greens and Water: Add the cold water, romaine heart, and baby spinach to a high-powered blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and there are no leafy chunks.
  3. Add Fruits and Flavorings: Add the lemon, banana, apple, ginger, fresh mint leaves, and chia seeds into the blender. Blend on high speed until the banana is completely pureed and the entire mixture is smooth and creamy.

Notes

  • Using a high-powered blender ensures a smoother texture and better incorporation of fibrous greens.
  • Frozen banana adds creaminess and natural sweetness without extra sugar.
  • Removing the lemon peel avoids bitterness in the smoothie.
  • Chia seeds boost fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, enhancing the detoxifying effect.
  • Consume immediately or within a few hours for best flavor and nutrient retention.
