Instructions

Before you start, check that you have all the ingredients ready and prepped. For best results, use a high speed blender. Cut and peel fruits and vegetables as needed, using peeled produce for a smoother texture. Minimize waste by using all edible parts of the produce and avoid throwing away nutritious peels or stems when possible.

Note: The order of adding ingredients can affect blending. Place softer ingredients like banana or avocado at the bottom, followed by leafy greens, then harder items and ice on top.

Start by putting the lettuce, spinach, avocado, and frozen peaches into the blender.
Add water, ice, and Stevia.
Blend on a low setting until ice is crushed. Increase speed and then blend until smooth.
