- Why is the spinach lumpy?
- Your blender isn't powerful enough, or you put too much water in at the start. Try puréeing the greens with a little water first, then diluting.
- Can I save it for tomorrow?
- Vitamins and taste are best fresh; the apple may oxidize. If you must, fill the bottle to the brim so no air remains, and seal immediately.
Green vegetable smoothie
A smoothie is more than a shake: it is a fibre bomb. While juicing discards fibres, here everything remains, which is good for digestion. The key is balance: the 'earthy' taste of spinach and celery is made enjoyable by the sweetness of apple and the acidity of lemon, while the fat from the avocado makes the drink creamy and aids vitamin absorption.

Instructions
1
✓
Clean the vegetables. Chop the celery finely, as its long fibres can wrap around the blender blade.
2
✓
Place the liquid (apple juice, water) at the bottom of the blender, then the softer items (spinach, avocado), and finally the harder ones (cucumber, ginger, ice).
Tip: This order helps the blades catch the ingredients and create a vortex.
3
✓
Start the machine on low speed, then accelerate to maximum. Blend for at least 1 minute until completely creamy.
Tip: During prolonged blending, cell walls are fully broken down, making nutrients more accessible.

Taste, and if necessary, add more lemon for freshness.
