Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup fresh spinach (washed, loose packed)

½ cucumber, chopped

1 small green apple, chopped

½ ripe avocado

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 cup coconut water (or plain water)

½ teaspoon grated ginger (optional)

3–4 mint leaves (optional)

Equipment

1 A blender
2 A cutting board
3 A knife
4 Measuring cups or spoons
5 A glass you actually like drinking from (important, somehow)

Method

Add coconut water to the blender first — it helps everything blend smoothly.

Toss in spinach, cucumber, apple, and avocado.

Pour in lemon juice, add ginger and mint if using.

Blend on low, then high, until smooth and creamy.

If it feels too thick, add a little water and blend again.

Pour into a glass and drink fresh.

Notes

For a milder taste, reduce spinach and add more apple
For extra creaminess, add a few ice cubes or more avocado
Best enjoyed fresh — don’t wait too long
