Ingredients

1/2 cup almond milk or water, see notes
2 ribs celery chopped
1 green apple peeled and chopped (core removed and discarded)
1 large banana frozen, need about 1 cup sliced bananas total
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger grated (see notes)
2 cups baby spinach lightly packed
1 cup baby kale lightly packed
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

Add the almond milk, celery, apple, banana, ginger, spinach, kale, honey, and ice cubes to a blender.
Blend until smooth.

Notes

Ginger: do 2 tsp of fresh ginger if you like a strong ginger taste; 1 tsp for mild ginger and 1 1/2 tsp for a happy medium. When using fresh ginger, be sure to peel off the outer skin. Use the edge of a spoon (like you would a peeler) to more easily peel the ginger.

For easier blending, add the liquid (almond milk, or water) to the blender first. Then continue with the remaining ingredients.

Storing: Store any leftovers in a tight sealed container, such as a glass jar with a lid. Will keep in the fridge for about 2 days. Freshly juiced and blended vegetables are best enjoyed soon after they are made. Add the smoothie and ice to a blender to give it the smoothie texture again.
