📖 Instructions

1. First, give those leafy greens a good rinse. Nobody wants sandy spinach in their smoothie! Wash about 1 cup of fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water.
2. Next, wash and roughly chop a 1/4 cup of fresh parsley. Don't worry about being too precise; the blender will take care of the rest.
3. Now, time for the star of the show – the peach! Wash one ripe peach, remove the pit, and chop it into chunks. I like to leave the skin on for extra nutrients, but feel free to peel it if you prefer.
4. If you're using fresh ginger (and I highly recommend it!), peel a small knob (about 1/2 inch) and slice it thinly. Ginger adds a zing that complements the other flavors beautifully.
5. Grab your blender! Add the spinach, parsley, peach chunks, and sliced ginger (if using) to the blender.
6. Pour in 1 cup of your choice of liquid. Water works just fine, but almond milk, coconut water, or even a splash of apple juice can add extra flavor.
7. If you like a sweeter smoothie, now's the time to add a touch of honey, maple syrup, or a couple of dates. I usually skip this, as the peach provides enough sweetness for me.
8. Blend on high speed until everything is smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender.
9. Give it a taste! If the smoothie is too thick, add more liquid. If it's not sweet enough, add a touch of sweetener. Adjust to your liking.
10. Pour your Parsley Peach Green Smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately! You can garnish with a slice of peach or a sprig of parsley if you're feeling fancy.
