Ingredients:

1 cup fresh spinach leaves: packed with vitamins A, C, and K.

1/2 avocado: rich in healthy fats, fiber, and B vitamins.

1/4 cup sliced cucumber: hydrating and add a refreshing taste without added sugars.

1/2 green apple: has less sugar than their red counterparts and add a nice, tart flavor along with extra fiber.

1 tablespoon chia seeds: great source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and protein.

1 tablespoon flaxseeds: high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk): a low-calorie, sugar-free liquid base that adds creaminess without dairy.

Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the spinach leaves, cucumber, and green apple thoroughly. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Core and slice the green apple. Slice the cucumber.

Blend the Greens: Add the spinach, avocado, cucumber, and green apple to a blender. Blend on high until the mixture starts to become smooth.

Add Remaining Ingredients to the Blender: Add the chia seeds, flaxseeds, and almond milk. Blend again until the mixture is completely smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a large glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutrient retention.

This smoothie combines hydrating and fiber-rich ingredients with healthy fats and proteins to keep you full and energized. It's a perfect way to start your day or as a refreshing post- workout recovery drink. Enjoy your healthy, low-sugar, high-fiber summer treat!
