2 cups water

½ lemon, juiced

1 banana, frozen or fresh

1 honeycrisp, fuji, or granny smith apple, cored

1 inch chunk of ginger, peeled

3 large handfuls of spinach or baby kale

ice (optional)*

Add liquids to blender first.  Then add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

*I like my smoothies cold.  If I’m not using frozen berries or other frozen fruit, I’ll add 3-4 cubes of ice to blender.  You can adjust this to your taste.
