Instructions

Add all ingredients to a blender: lettuce, green apple, frozen banana, lemon juice, chia seeds, and water.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds depending on your blender.
If you prefer a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!

Notes

Add vanilla protein powder if you like!
For a thicker smoothie bowl consistency, use only 3/4 cup of water and add more frozen ingredients.
Feel free to substitute the green apple with a sweeter variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji if you prefer.
This recipe serves 1-2 people, depending on portion size.
