Smoothie au kéfir, à la pomme verte et aux épinards

Ingrédients

• 1 green apple, cored and chopped
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 3/4 cup plain kefir
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 4 ice cubes

Préparation

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.
