Apple, Kiwi & Ginger

The green one that does not taste like a salad. Ginger does the heavy lifting, apple keeps it sweet enough that you actually finish it.

350ml

One bottle

3 min

Start to finish

Ingredients

Vegan

As written

Apple, kiwi and ginger smoothie in the Blitz bottle

What you need

1Green apple, cored and roughly chopped
1Kiwi, peeled
5gFresh ginger, about a thumb tip
20gSpinach, a loose handful
120mlCoconut water, up to the fill line

Worth adding

Ginger is the variable here. Start smaller than you think and build up.

½ Lemon, juiced — holds the green longer ½ Frozen banana — body and sweetness 1 tsp Honey — if the apple is very sharp 1 tbsp Chia seeds — thicker, slower release

How to load it

Coconut water and spinach first

Greens go in with the liquid so they break down before the hard fruit lands on them. Skip this order and you get flecks of leaf in the finished drink.
Kiwi and ginger, then apple

Apple is the toughest thing in here, so it sits on top nearest the blades where it gets cut first.
Press twice, then check the colour

An even green with no flecks means it is done. Streaky means give it one more short cycle rather than a longer first one.

What you get

Properly bright green and sharp on the finish from the ginger. Drink it straight away. It separates and dulls within about ten minutes, which stirs back together fine but never looks as good the second time.
