Equipment

  • blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • ½ cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • 1 green apple, cored and sliced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 cup coconut water (or water)
  • Handful of ice (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients

  • Wash the spinach, peel and chop the cucumber, and slice the apple. Grate the ginger finely and squeeze the fresh lemon juice.

Layer in the Blender

  • To ensure a smooth blend, add the liquids to the blender first: coconut water and lemon juice. Follow with the solid ingredients: spinach, cucumber, apple, and ginger. Add a handful of ice on top if using.

Blend Until Silky

  • Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible specks of spinach.

Serve

  • Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately for the best flavor and nutrient retention.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions: For a cleaner taste with fewer calories, use plain water instead of coconut water. To boost fiber, add 1 tablespoon of chia or flax seeds.
Pro Tip: For a perfectly smooth texture, add liquids to the blender before the solid ingredients. This helps the blades move freely and create a vortex.
Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. If you must store it, pour into an airtight container, fill to the top to minimize air exposure, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking as separation may occur.
Meal Prep: To save time, portion the solid ingredients (spinach, cucumber, apple, ginger) into freezer-safe bags. When ready to drink, empty a bag into the blender, add coconut water or water, and blend.
