Notes
- Blend all ingredients until smooth.
- Note: as you are using a lot of spinach, if you are using fresh spinach you will have to blend in batches as it won’t all fit in your blender at once. Blend with the water before adding any other ingredients.
- I personally use frozen spinach because it is cheaper and I can store more of it for longer.
- What I do is steep green tea in a jug for 3 minutes, then pour that over my frozen spinach. It wilts the spinach and makes it easier to blend. You can also leave frozen ingredients to thaw first.
- If you are trying to lose weight, weigh or measure everything and eat similar foods every day to save time.
