Ingredients 

• Banana - bananas not only add natural sweetness to the smoothie but also contribute to its creamy texture. They are an excellent source of potassium, providing a natural energy boost and aiding in muscle function. The riper the banana the sweeter the taste. 
• Apple - the addition of a sweet apple introduces a refreshing flavor and a dose of dietary fiber. Apples are rich in vitamin C, adding an extra boost to your immune system.
• Spinach - the star of this green smoothie, fresh spinach, is a nutrient powerhouse. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it's an easy way to incorporate leafy greens into your diet without compromising on taste.
• Unsweetened Almond Milk - for a dairy-free and luscious base, we've opted for almond milk. It adds a creamy consistency.
