- 1 small handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, about 6-8 sprigs
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Use the Mini Chopper to finely chop the fresh parsley.

- Use the Eco Chop to chop the apple and cucumber into even pieces.
- Add the water, spinach, parsley, and cucumber to the Eco Chop container.
- Pump 20-25 times, or until the mixture is smooth and fragrant.
- Add the apple, banana, and lemon juice.

bonTIPS:
- Chop the parsley first to release more flavor.
- Use cold filtered water to keep the smoothie light and refreshing.
- Add the spinach and cucumber with the liquid first for a smoother green base.
- Serve right away for the freshest color and flavor.
- Parsley is the quiet hero of this blend. It freshens the flavor, brightens the green notes, and keeps the smoothie from tasting heavy. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
