Cooking method

Step 1:
How do you make a detox green smoothie with spinach, kiwi, and banana? Gather the ingredients. Try to choose a ripe, even overripe, banana - it gives the smoothie silkiness and sweetness. Use unsweetened, preferably natural, juice. Don't use water instead of juice; it'll reduce the beneficial properties of the spinach. The amount of spinach varies - add it to taste, a large or small handful. Before you start, wash and dry the banana and kiwi.
-
Step 2:
Peel the banana and cut it into rounds.
-
Step 3:
Peel the kiwi. Cut it into small pieces.
-
Step 4:
Rinse the spinach under running water, then put it on a paper towel to absorb the excess moisture. Pat the spinach on top with a towel too.
-
Step 5:
A countertop blender is best for making smoothies. If you don't have one, you can use a food chopper or an immersion blender, but a countertop one is still the most convenient. Put the banana and kiwi pieces in it and pour in the apple juice.
-
Step 6:
Blend all the ingredients until smooth.
-
Step 7:
Then tear the spinach leaves into the blender jar. It's better to remove any stems that are too thick.
-
Step 8:
Blend the smoothie again. This time take a little longer so the drink becomes completely smooth, silky, and thick. Pour the finished smoothie into glasses and serve right away. The longer it sits, the more of its beneficial properties it loses. A smoothie is a drink to serve immediately. Enjoy!
- Green vegetables and fruits have a healing, cleansing, detox effect on the body.
- We really liked this version of the smoothie. The banana makes it sweet, the kiwi adds a pleasant tartness, and you don't taste the spinach at all. The drink's color is a rich green.
- To make the smoothie even more filling, you can add rolled oats, seeds, or nuts.
- Or you can make the now-trendy smoothie bowl - a very thick smoothie you can eat with a spoon. To do that, increase the solid ingredients and reduce the juice. Put the finished smoothie in a deep bowl. Garnish the top with berries, fruit, and nuts.
