Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach packed tightly
- 1 large Granny Smith apple cored and sliced, skin on for fiber
- 1/4 cup raw walnuts shelled
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain and unsweetened
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for extra omega-3s
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon to regulate blood sugar
- 1 tsp honey optional, for sweetness
- 1/2 cup ice cubes for a chilled texture
Notes
To make ahead, portion the spinach, apples, and walnuts into freezer-safe bags. When ready to drink, add the frozen ingredients directly to the liquid base. You can substitute the honey with a pitted Medjool date for a whole-food sweetener. Store leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours, though separation is natural; shake well before drinking.
