Description

A creamy green smoothie built for steady energy: protein-rich Greek yogurt + soy milk, fiber from green apple and flax, and healthy fats from avocado and hemp hearts.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup soy milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1 cup spinach or kale
  • 1 green apple
  • 1/4 avocado
  • 2 tbsp hemp seed hearts
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • pinch of sea salt
  • pinch of black pepper

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the apple
Core the green apple but keep the skin on—that’s where much of the fiber and antioxidants live. Chop it into small pieces so your blender can do its job and create a silky-smooth texture.

2️⃣ Layer your ingredients
Add everything to the blender starting with the liquids (soy milk and lemon juice). Then add the yogurt, apple, greens, avocado, seeds, salt and pepper. Liquids on the bottom help the blades pull everything down and prevent those annoying air pockets.

3️⃣ Taste and adjust
Give it a quick taste and make it your own. Want it creamier? Add a splash more milk. Like a little brightness? Squeeze in more lemon. You can even add another crack of black pepper—this small but mighty ingredient helps your body better absorb the plant compounds from the greens and apple.

4️⃣ Sip and savor
Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy it slowly. Sipping gives your body time to register fullness, supports GLP-1 release, and helps keep your energy steady all morning.
