Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 1 handful fresh spinach
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 small piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1 pinch Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 handful ice cubes optional

Instructions
 

Load the Blender

  • Set everything out so you can move quickly while it is still cold, coconut water, fresh spinach, lemon juice, fresh ginger, and Himalayan pink salt. Add them to a high speed blender, then add the ice cubes (optional) so the drink comes out frosty.
  • Add the twist that makes this one stick, drop in 1/2 green apple (cored) and 1 tablespoon chia seeds. You will smell the lemon and ginger right away, bright and clean like a fresh cut citrus.

Blend Until Silky

  • Blend until the smoothie looks evenly bright green and glossy, with no leafy flecks clinging to the sides. When it is ready, it should pour in one smooth ribbon and smell tangy and revitalizing, not grassy or sharp.

Pour and Drink Fresh

  • Pour it into a chilled glass and drink it right away for the best hydration feel. The flavor is at its peak when it is ice cold, with that gentle salty edge and a crisp apple finish.

Notes

Pro Tip: Start with very cold coconut water and freshly squeezed lemon juice so the smoothie feels crisp, clean, and keeps the vitamin C pop front and center.
Measurement Note: A pinch of Himalayan pink salt means about 1/16 to 1/8 teaspoon, going beyond that can make the drink harsh and lead to bloating.
Equipment Tip: Use a high-speed blender to ensure the fresh ginger and spinach are completely pulverized, avoiding a chunky or salad-like texture.
Health & Safety Note: Even natural salt contains sodium. If you have high blood pressure or kidney concerns, consult your clinician before adding extra salt to your daily routine.
Storage Tip: Do not make this the night before, as the lemon and ginger lose their bright flavor, spinach oxidizes, and chia seeds become overly gelatinous.
