Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups baby spinach tightly packed
- 1 cup English cucumber chopped with skin on
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks provides natural sweetness and creaminess
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves stems removed
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice about half a lemon
- 1.5 cups coconut water unsweetened
- 1 tsp chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3s
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional for extra frostiness
Notes
For the best flavor, enjoy immediately while cold. Storage: Can be kept in an airtight mason jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours (shake well before drinking). Substitution: Use frozen mango instead of pineapple for a creamier, less tart profile. Make-ahead: Freeze the spinach, mint, and ginger in a silicone bag for a quick 'smoothie pack'—just add liquid and blend.
