Kefir Green Apple Spinach Smoothie Instructions
Add the kefir and water to the blender first, then the spinach, apple, and ice. Blend on high for about a minute, until the spinach is fully broken down and no green flecks remain floating on top.
This green smoothie swaps in kefir for the water or milk you'd normally use, which is a different move than our peach kefir recipe — here kefir is replacing plain liquid rather than a yogurt-milk blend, so the protein and probiotic boost is even more noticeable relative to a standard green smoothie.
Leave the apple peel on for more fiber and a slightly more tart flavor, or peel it if you prefer a milder, sweeter smoothie. Either way, chop the apple into small pieces first so your blender doesn't have to work as hard.
