Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups organic baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup whole walnuts, raw or roasted
- 3/4 cup organic fresh pomegranate seeds (frozen if you can’t find fresh)
- 1/2 large Fuji or Honeycrisp apple, sliced thin
- 1/2 large Granny Smith apple, sliced thin

Instructions
- Place the spinach, apple slices, blueberries, pomegranate seeds, celery, and walnuts in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the ingredients and gently toss to evenly coat everything.
- Use a stick blender (immersion blender) to blend the ingredients in a wide mouth mason jar. You can also whisk the ingredients together in a bowl or add them to a mason jar, seal the lid and shake vigorously to blend.
- We prefer to blend the ingredients with a stick blender for a quick blend.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If properly stored, it should last up to 5 days.
