Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 packed cup kale, ribs removed)
  • 1 small cucumber, peeled if waxed, roughly chopped
  • 1 small green apple, cored and chopped (or 1/2 ripe pear)
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (or ground flaxseed)
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut water (or cold water)
  • Handful of ice (optional, for a colder, thicker texture)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, to enhance flavor and minerals)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the produce: Wash everything well. Core the apple, chop the cucumber, and peel the ginger. If using kale, strip the tough stems.
  • Layer the blender: Add coconut water first, then spinach, cucumber, apple, avocado, ginger, chia, and lemon juice. Ice can go on top.
  • Blend until silky: Start low, then increase to high for 45–60 seconds, or until the texture is smooth and pourable.
  • Taste and adjust: Add more lemon for brightness, more coconut water if it’s too thick, or a small pinch of salt to round out the flavors.
  • Serve or chill: Pour into a glass and drink right away, or chill for 10 minutes if you prefer it colder.
