Apple Avocado Smoothie

This is a refreshing detox green smoothie.
Perfect for breakfast!

Ingredients:

1 cup unsweetened almond milk
4 cups spinach
1 medium avocado, peeled, seeded
2 medium apples (any variety), cored and quartered (chop even finer if you don’t have a high-powered blender)
1 medium banana, diced and frozen
2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (plus more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or a 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger (if you don’t have a high-powered blender, mince the ginger first). If you want a more subtle flavor, use less than 1/2 teaspoon of ginger—this smoothie is a bit spicy!
Small handful of ice cubes
Additional ingredients (optional): chia seeds, flax seeds, protein powder, almond butter (or other nut butter of your choice)

Instructions:

1. Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender in the order listed above.
2. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more sweetener or seasoning to taste if needed. Serve immediately.

Yield: 2 cocktails
