Notes
- Other sour apple smoothie recipes add cucumber and cashews. Both would be good additions, but make the smoothie less tart. You could add about 1 inch of english cucumber and ½-1 Tablespoon cashews if desired.
- Swap fresh spinach for frozen, you can use about 1-2 Tablespoons of frozen spinach in this recipe.
- You can substitute the water for orange or apple juice, milk, or coconut water. If you want your smoothie more tart, add water or orange juice.
- Skip the banana and/or flaxseed if you don't have either. You can add sweetness by adding honey, or your favorite kind of sugar to this recipe. Or juice, adding juice will add sweetness.
