Gluten Free Green Tea Citrus Smoothie
This vibrant, refreshing smoothie is everything you want in a glass ā bright citrus, earthy green tea, and a subtle kick of fresh ginger that makes it feel genuinely alive. The frozen banana gives it that thick, creamy texture without any dairy, and the baby spinach blends in so completely you'd never know it was there. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from gluten, so there's no label-reading anxiety or ingredient swaps required ā just whole, clean food doing its thing. Chilling the green tea before blending is a small step that pays off big, keeping the color vivid and the flavor crisp rather than muddy. A squeeze of maple syrup balances the tartness from the orange and lime, but you can dial it up or down to match your mood. Serve it immediately for the best texture and color, with a lime wedge on the rim if you want to feel a little fancy about your morning routine.
