Spinach smoothie recipe with Apple, Kiwi and Grapes: "Greenery"

Spinach smoothie recipe with Apple, Kiwi and Grapes

Green smoothies, like the spinach smoothie, are now trending in terms of color. The American institute for color research "Pantone" has chosen Greenery, a fresh yellow-green, as the trend color for 2017. This pleases us, from a culinary point of view, we have been in love with green for a long time. For years, we have been creating the most diverse shades of green in our blender and can't get enough of green stuff. Green simply is good for you. According to color theory, it is the color of the middle, which has a balancing, conciliatory and calming effect - without tiring. Green stands for hope and confidence, for new beginnings, health, nature and vitality. Isn't it amazing how much positivity can fit inside a glass? We want our Greenery!

Desire for green: spinach smoothie recipe Greenery

For our Greenery recipe, we fell in love with green again - spinach, kiwi, green grapes, apple, avocado, and lime not only show off various beautiful shades of green, but make for an extremely mild mixture with a very pleasant tartness. Kiwi and lime add an exotic touch, avocado makes the smoothie nice and creamy, while grapes, apple and fresh orange juice provide a sweet full-bodied taste. And of course, we chose a green blender - the Bianco Primo in green.

Our love for greens is unabated, as you can see from the pictures, we don't limit ourselves to just smoothies.

I fell in love with the first sip. In 2010 a friend of mine served me my first green smoothie. Since then, green smoothies are my absolute favorite breakfast. Quickly prepared, I start my day healthy, delicious and well nourished. I carry the feeling of this delicious healthy breakfast with me all day long - all the way through to the evening.
Nice side effect: Without renunciation or nutritional dogma, green smoothies regulate my desire for coffee, chocolate and all the other temptations.

The smoothie is delicious, but with so many ingredients, the amount that comes out is really large!! Half of it would be enough for one person for breakfast, about 2 large glasses full.

Dear Christine,

Thank you for your feedback on our smoothie recipe. It's great to hear that you enjoyed "Greenery." Next time, simply halve the amount of ingredients. We provide the total quantity in our recipes - in this case, 1500 ml - so that you have an idea before blending. For some people, 2 glasses of 300 ml each are already satisfying, while others may have 1.5 liters of green smoothie as a breakfast replacement.

Best regards,
Carla

Great recipe. But why do you only use the juice of the orange and not the whole orange? And why don't you use the avocado seed?

Thanks, Volker.

Hello Volker,

Thank you very much for your lovely recipe feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the smoothie so much.
Of course, you can also use the orange - it's purely a taste decision to include the juice in the smoothie. Sometimes we use a tiny piece of the avocado seed.

Best regards,
Carla

This smoothie is very tasty, I spooned it to savor it better, but I only took half of the spinach - instinctively - and that was somehow a good call because shortly after consuming it, my stomach rumbled briefly.

Dear Petra,

Thank you for your feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed the smoothie and were able to customize the recipe to suit your taste. That's exactly how it should be.

Warm regards,

Hi, I also started drinking green smoothies, carrot, and fruit smoothies a few days ago. They taste really good.

Hey there!

I wasn't in the mood for grapes and apples, I don't usually eat either of them very often as they have too much sugar for me. :) So here is my version:
300g frozen spinach
2 golden kiwis (with peel)
1 orange (without peel)
1 half of a small avocado (without peel and pit)
1 half of a lemon (without peel)
300ml water

Put everything into the Bianco di Puro Primo Plus (spinach on top) and start the smoothie program.

Done and.. Wow! So green! :D and totally delicious with a subtle citrus note. Not too sweet, and personally just right for me in this heat. I'll have it cold from the fridge tomorrow at lunchtime. Thanks for your inspirations!!

Greetings from Hamburg,
Verena

Dear Verana,

That sounds great! A tip: Why not try using fresh spinach; frozen spinach is actually blanched before freezing, meaning it is heated. This process causes some nutrients, such as cold-sensitive enzymes, to be lost.
Warm regards,
Carla

Hey Carla,

thank you for your comment :)
Yes, fresh spinach is regularly in my veggie box and of course, I use that instead of frozen.

Right at this moment, I'm drinking a smoothie made from fresh tomatoes.
I also added peas from the garden at the end.
They are like little green highlights in the "red soup". ^^

Have a great day!

Best regards,

Hello, the smoothie is really delicious. But can I use golden kiwis instead of green ones? I can't tolerate green kiwis. Unfortunately, I realized that I can't tolerate them in this smoothie either. But since it's so tasty, I'd like to continue making it. Thanks in advance for the answer.
3/21/2018
Carla von GrüneSmoothies.de
Dear Nicole, of course you can replace the green kiwis with yellow ones - I'm sure it will taste great too. They are a bit less acidic or milder. Best regards, Carla

I cannot tolerate bananas and am looking for 2 simple smoothie recipes using some of the following ingredients (which I currently have on hand): lamb's lettuce, baby spinach, endive, celery, cucumber, apple, pear, nectarine, lemon, parsley.
Does anyone have a good recipe?
9/18/2017
Carla von GrüneSmoothies.de
Hey Anni, why not take the fruits and switch it up with spinach or lamb's lettuce. It's important that the nectarine is nice and sweet, so the smoothie won't get too bitter from the endive. By the way, lemon pairs well with cucumber, and nectarine goes with it too - for leafy greens, you could use spinach or lamb's lettuce. Add a stalk of celery to that - done. Just give it a try! Best, Carla

Question: Lemon really WITH peel? Despite being organic and unsprayed, I prefer not to consume that.....
2/21/2017
Carla von GrüneSmoothies.de
Hey Greeny, this recipe is totally made for you ;) Yes, we use the lime with the peel - and of course, only organic limes. It's just a brilliant flavor.

Hi there,
today I finally got a lovely organic avocado and was able to blend the "Greenery" in the original recipe. The taste is sooo amazing that I left the recipe right next to the blender, which will now be used more often.
So far, I've only used banana or avocado, never both at the same time.
Have the kohlrabies already made their way into your beautiful kitchen?
Many warm greetings from the Thuringian Forest, MO.
2/16/2017
Carla von GrüneSmoothies.de
Hello dear Mo,
Banana? - Greenery actually works without banana, only with avocado. It surely fits as well, making it sweeter. Still no sign of Kohlrabi here :( But we still have good purslane! See you soon, warmly, Carla

Hi there,
Well, I was quite surprised just now. I must have read too many smoothie recipes and simply sneaked a banana in there! But I really like the taste. I love bananas.
Lamb's lettuce seeds are already waiting here. However, a thick layer of snow is still spreading in the garden.
Best regards from the Thuringian Forest, MO.

I'm sure it will also work well - especially when the kiwis are not quite so sweet...now they are just right. Have a great weekend, Carla.

Hello everyone, I'm relatively new to using the single-portion meals. Can I first crush them in a Thermomix (TM31) or do I absolutely need a separate blender? Many thanks and thank you for the great recipes, I'm finally eating fruits & vegetables again.
2/16/2017
Carla von GrüneSmoothies.de
Hello Rudi,

For a start, you can surely test Green Smoothies in the Thermomix to find out if you generally like this blend of fruits, leafy greens, and water. However, to fully experience the culinary taste adventure of Green Smoothies, it's definitely worth investing in a high-speed blender as a complement to the Thermomix. This is because there are leafy greens such as kale, parsley, wheatgrass, or even wild herbs that a Thermomix cannot properly puree. The Thermomix simply has a different focus. Green Smoothies are not its strength.

Here are a few buyer reviews from/about Thermomix owners, who have, for example, purchased a Bianco di Puro Primo as an addition.

Regarding the last link, there is a comment from Stephanie Mendes Candido. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our customer service.

Best regards, Carla

If the amount (1500 ml) is spread throughout the day, or how many people is the recipe intended for? Best regards, Margit
2/15/2017
Carla von GrüneSmoothies.de
The daily amount of smoothie is completely individual. We drink between 700 ml and a liter as a breakfast replacement. You could simply halve the ingredient amounts for yourself.

Margit
Hello, you always have really great recipes and ideas. I have tried many of them and am impressed by each one. A true energy boost in the morning! One more question, where can I find those bottles with the green lids that are shown in the picture?

Dear Margit, oh - that makes us very happy! The Retap bottles are available with us. Best regards, Carla
