Ingredients
- 2 cup fresh spinach, packed washed and dried
- 2 cup orange segments peeled, seeds removed, from about 2 large oranges
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice

- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated optional
- 1 tbsp chia seeds optional for extra fiber

Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or stir before serving as separation may occur. Make-ahead: Pre-measure and bag the spinach, orange segments, and other ingredients (except liquids and ice) and freeze for a quick blend later. Substitutions: Use kale instead of spinach, any citrus like clementines, or swap yogurt for a banana for creaminess. For a thinner smoothie, add more liquid.
