Green Detox Smoothie (Spinach Apple Ginger)
Nutrition per serving
Ingredients
- 80 g fresh spinach
- 2 green apples, quartered and cored
- 1 cucumber, chopped into chunks
- 20 g fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 500 ml coconut water
- Handful of fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the spinach, mint, cucumber, and apples thoroughly.
Quarter the apples and remove the cores. Chop the cucumber into large chunks. Peel the ginger and slice it thin.
Juice the lemon. For an extra-smooth blend, strain the juice to remove seeds.
Add the coconut water to the blender first, then the spinach, mint, and ginger — liquids first helps the blades catch.
Add the apple, cucumber, lemon juice, chia seeds, and ice cubes.
Blend on high for 60–90 seconds until completely smooth and vividly green.
Taste: add more lemon for brightness or an extra slice of ginger for heat. Serve immediately over ice.
