1 Make the Smoothie
Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Peel and core apple and chop into a rough dice, reserving two small rounds for garnish. Halve avocado and remove pit. Peel and slice kiwis. Add apple, meat of the avocado, spinach, kiwis, orange juice and 1 cup of ice to the blender. Blend on high speed until ice is crushed and liquid is smooth with few, if any, clumps.
