Add 2-3 fresh celery stalks for an even greener smoothie.If you're on the lookout for a high-speed blender, make sure to read my Kitchenaid K400 review to see if it might be a good fit for you, too. It's extremely powerful, easy to use, and turns even the thickest and most fibrous ingredients into a creamy smoothie. I use the Kitchenaid K400 for all my smoothies and absolutely love it. This allows the blender to suck the ingredients into the blades correctly and ensures a great blending process. Add 2-3 ice cubes, if it's not cold enough.Keep the apple juice in the refrigerator for a cold smoothie.Use frozen mango for a super cold and even creamier drink.I usually cut up enough vegetables for 3 smoothies at a time and keep them in small airtight containers in the refrigerator. Wash and cut the fruit and veggies ahead of time for super quick preparation.Use ground ginger if you don't have a high-speed blender or you may have fibrous bits and pieces in there.Hemp seeds are a great source of plant-based protein with more than 3 grams of protein/per tablespoon.You can use fresh or ground ginger depending on what you have on hand. Fresh lime juice gives the smoothie a zingy touch and makes it extra refreshing.To prevent the smoothie from being overly sweet I recommend using half apple juice and half water. I also find it more flavorful than clear apple juice. I use cloudy apple juice made from 100% apples that still contains some fruit pulp left and is richer in polyphenols. Apple juice cuts the grassy flavor of the cucumber skin.You can replace it with pineapple or leave it out if you don't mind a more liquid drink. Fresh mango provides a creamy consistency and makes the smoothie feel less fibrous.Baby spinach has a pretty mild taste and is not bitter compared to other vegetables.Choose an organic cucumber if you want to use it with the skin. Cucumber has a high-water content ( 95% water) that makes this green smoothie extra hydrating.It makes a great snack or addition to your breakfast (this smoothie is not conceived to replace a meal).It's also a lot healthier than pre-made green smoothies, which often contain added sugar and flavorings.This green juice smoothie has more fiber than a regular green juice.


This smoothie is perfect if you're at the beginning of your green juice journey as it combines both fruits and veggies. Trust me this green smoothie is the perfect addition to your morning routine. This apple, cucumber, and spinach green juice smoothie tastes SO GOOD! The added lime and ginger give it a zingy and fiery kick that makes it super light, and refreshing.
