Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup English cucumber chopped, skin on
- 2 cups baby spinach tightly packed
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves stems removed
- 1 medium green apple cored and sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice about half a lime
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for fiber and omega-3s
- 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut water or filtered water
- 1 cup ice cubes optional for desired chill
Notes
For the best flavor, enjoy immediately while cold. You can prep the dry ingredients (cucumber, apple, ginger) in a freezer bag for a quick grab-and-blend option. If you prefer a sweeter taste without adding sugar, add 2-3 drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit. Store leftovers in an airtight glass jar for up to 24 hours, though separation is natural—just shake before drinking.
