We think of romaine lettuce as the crispy stuff at the bottom of a Caesar salad, but it’s one of the 10 most nutritious vegetables around, and higher in fiber than almost any other form of lettuce. And because it’s mostly water, it makes this smoothie a real thirst-quencher.
- 1 cup romaine lettuce
- ½ cup spinach
- ½ apple with peel, seeded and quartered
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop plain plant-based protein powder
- Water to blend (optional)
