Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 large English Cucumber chopped, skin on for extra fiber
- 2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach loosely packed
- 1 medium Green Apple cored and sliced, skin on
- 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger peeled and minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice approximately half a lemon
- 1 tbsp Chia Seeds for healthy fats and thickness
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk or filtered water
- 0.5 cup Ice Cubes optional for a chilled texture
Notes
For best results, consume immediately. If making ahead, store in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours and shake vigorously before drinking as separation is natural. You can substitute the green apple with a half cup of frozen berries for a different low-glycemic flavor profile.
