Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients

1 cup fresh spinach (or kale)

1 medium banana, peeled and sliced

½ cup chopped cucumber

½ cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)

½ inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated

1 cup coconut water (or plain water)

½ cup ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)

1 tbsp lemon juice (for freshness)

1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

Wash the spinach (or kale) thoroughly and pat dry.

Slice the banana and chop the cucumber into small pieces.

If using fresh pineapple, cut it into small chunks.

Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger.

Step 2: Add Liquids First

Pour 1 cup of coconut water (or plain water) into a high-speed blender.

Add 1 tbsp of lemon juice for a fresh, zesty flavor.

Step 3: Add Soft Ingredients

Add the banana slices for natural sweetness and a creamy texture.

Toss in pineapple chunks for a tropical flavor.

Add the grated ginger to give the smoothie a refreshing kick.

Step 4: Add Greens & Cucumber

Gently press down the spinach (or kale) into the blender.

Add the chopped cucumber, which gives hydration and a fresh taste.

Step 5: Blend Until Smooth

Blend on high speed for 30–45 seconds, or until completely smooth.

If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more coconut water and blend again.

Step 6: Adjust & Sweeten (If Needed)

Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add 1 tsp of honey or maple syrup and blend for 5 more seconds.

Step 7: Add Ice & Final Blend (Optional)

For an extra cold smoothie, add ½ cup of ice cubes and blend again for 10–15 seconds until frothy.

Step 8: Serve & Enjoy!

Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Optionally, garnish with a thin cucumber slice or a sprinkle of chia seeds for extra nutrition.
