Put in a few apple and pear pieces. Blend the ingredients. Add apple and pear chunks in small handfuls, mixing each.
Blend handfuls of leaves and mint until combined. Mix grapes, ice cubes, cinnamon, agave or stevia, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and ice-free.
Then, serve it in the glass.
Tips
It's not fun to chew your green smoothie. Blend your leafy greens and liquid base first to get a "smooth" green smoothie experience. Then add the rest of your fruits and mix again.
Freeze your favourite fruits, like grapes, pineapple, berries, or ripe bananas (peel them first). A freezer-safe bag is another option for storing your greens for later use. Just make sure to put your frozen greens straight into the blender.
If your smoothie tastes bitter or a little too "green," add some naturally sweet fruits. Instead of using processed sugars or artificial sweeteners, try eating pitted dates, bananas, mangoes, apples, pears, or dates.
You can make a green smoothie the night before and keep it in the fridge for up to two days. Keep it as fresh as possible by preventing oxidation with an airtight lid. Before opening it, give it a good shake to ensure it's chilled.
