Ingredients
Scale
Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 large apple, sliced
- 3 handfuls spinach (or kale)
- 2 cups almond milk
Decoration Ingredients
- 1 fruit roll up (blue)
- 1 fruit roll up (red)
- Mini chocolate chips
- White cookie icing
Instructions
- Blend the smoothie: Place the banana, sliced apple, spinach (or kale), and almond milk into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, making sure the greens are fully incorporated for that vibrant green color.
- Prepare the glass decorations: Take a strip of red, green, purple, or blue fruit roll up and wrap it snugly around the glass. If needed, use some white cookie icing to secure the strip in place so it doesn’t slide down.
- Create the turtle face: Using a small amount of white cookie icing, pipe eyes onto the front of the fruit roll up strip. Place mini chocolate chips on the icing for pupils. Then use the white icing again to add a mouth beneath the eyes. Optionally, use a toothpick to draw lines for teeth to add character. Allow these decorations to set for about 5 minutes to firm up. Alternatively, you can substitute edible decorations with ribbons and paper if preferred.
- Serve the smoothie: Pour the freshly blended green smoothie into the decorated glasses carefully. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and charming presentation.
Notes
- You can substitute kale for spinach if preferred.
- Use almond milk or any other plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Fruit roll-up colors can be varied to personalize each glass.
- Mini chocolate chips can be swapped with small edible candies for different effects.
- For a colder smoothie, chill the fruit beforehand or add a few ice cubes to the blender.
- Decorations can be customized or omitted for simpler preparation.
