Servings: 2
Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 large lemon (juiced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled drink)

Instructions

  1. Begin by halving the avocado and removing the pit. Scoop out the creamy flesh into your blender.
  2. Juice the lemon, allowing the tangy aroma of fresh citrus to invigorate your senses. Add the juice to the blender.
  3. Grate the fresh ginger and add it to the blender for a hint of spicy warmth.
  4. Add the baby spinach, which not only provides a vibrant green color but also packs a nutritious punch.
  5. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, providing a smooth, dairy-free base for your smoothie.
  6. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup.
  7. For an extra refreshing touch, add a few ice cubes.
  8. Blend all ingredients on high until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  9. Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately!

Helpful Tips and Variations

  • Substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk if desired, such as oat or coconut milk.
  • For a more tropical flavor, add a few chunks of frozen pineapple or mango.
  • Serve in a chilled glass for an extra cool refreshment, perfect for hot summer days.

Storage and Substitutions

  • Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake before drinking.
  • For a nut-free option, replace almond milk with rice milk or hemp milk.
  • If fresh ginger is unavailable, a teaspoon of ground ginger can be used as a substitute, though fresh ginger gives the best flavor.

Pairings and Complements

  • This smoothie pairs wonderfully with whole-grain toast topped with avocado slices and cherry tomatoes.
  • Enjoy it alongside a light, crunchy salad for a refreshing and healthy meal.
  • Serve it with almond flour cookies for a delightful, nutritious snack combo.
