Ingredients
- 1 cup cold coconut water
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach, packed
- 1 green apple, cored and chopped
- 1/2 ripe banana
- Juice of 1/2 lemon, about 1 1/2 tablespoons
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Use the Eco Chop to chop the apple into even pieces.
- Press the lemon half in the Citrus Press to extract the fresh juice.
- Add the coconut water and spinach to the Eco Chop container.
- Secure the lid and pump until the greens are emulsified into the liquid and smooth, about 20-25 pumps.
- Add the chopped apple, banana, and lemon juice.
- Continue chopping and emulsifying until the smoothie is vibrant, creamy, and fully blended.
- Add the ice and pulse a few final times.
- Serve immediately in a chilled glass.
Optional Upgrades:
- Sweeter: Add 1/4 cup fresh or frozen pineapple.
- Creamier: Add 1/4 avocado.
- Herb Bloom: Add 3-4 fresh mint leaves or 2 basil leaves.
bonTIPS:
- Chop the apple first so it blends more evenly into the smoothie.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
- Add the greens with the coconut water first to help create a smoother base.
- Serve right away for the freshest color and texture.
- Use a fully ripe banana for natural sweetness without added sugar. A slightly frozen banana gives the smoothie a creamier texture.
