Chef Tips

- Congele a banana madura em rodelas antes de bater para obter textura aveludada de sorbet sem adicionar pedras de gelo de água. - Mantenha a casca da maçã verde higienizada para aproveitar a pectina e os polifenóis durante o batimento no liquidificador. - Bata em velocidade máxima por cerca de 2 minutos para triturar completamente as fibras da rúcula e pedaços de maçã.

Variations

- Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or golden flaxseed to increase the amount of soluble fiber. - Add 1/4 of a ripe avocado along with the banana to enrich the smoothie with monounsaturated fats. - Add fresh mint leaves to the blender jar to elevate the feeling of freshness.

Substitutions

- The 2 cups of arugula can be replaced with fresh collard greens without the stem or raw spinach. - Coconut water can be replaced by cold mineral water or cold green tea in the same measure of 1 cup. - Honey can be replaced by cane molasses or natural sweetener based on stevia.

How to Store

Consume the smoothie immediately after preparation to avoid the loss of nutrients and the oxidation of plant compounds. If you need to store it, keep it in a full thermos in the refrigerator for a maximum of 6 hours.

Can You Freeze It?

O smoothie pronto não deve ser congelado para degelo líquido, pois perde a textura cremosa. Contudo, você pode congelar o líquido em formas de picolé para consumir como sobremesa gelada refrescante por até 1 mês.

What to Serve With

Excellent for breakfast or pre-workout accompanied by scrambled eggs, slices of whole-wheat bread with olive oil, or a portion of Brazil nuts. It also acts as a water replenisher after physical activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the flavor of arugula not make the drink bitter?

The sweetness of the ripe banana combined with the acidity of the green apple and lemon juice softens the bitterness of the arugula, leaving the flavor balanced.

Can I use spinach instead of arugula?

Yes, raw spinach has an even milder flavor than arugula and gives the smoothie an intense green color and a very creamy texture.

Is it necessary to strain the smoothie before drinking?

It should not be strained; the purpose of the smoothie is to take advantage of all plant fibers in arugula and apple for gut health.

Can ginger be consumed raw in the recipe?

Yes, finely grated, raw ginger provides fresh and aromatic spicy notes without assaulting the palate when blended evenly.
