Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut water or filtered cold water
- 1/2 English cucumber, peeled and sliced
- 1 green apple, cored and chopped
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 5-6 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Peel and slice the cucumber using the Eco Chop for uniform pieces.
- Press the lemon in the Citrus Press to extract the fresh juice.
- Use the Mini Chopper to finely chop the fresh mint.
- Add the liquid, cucumber, and chopped mint to the Eco Chop container.
- Pump vigorously until the base is fragrant and smooth, about 20-25 pumps.
- Add the spinach, apple, banana, and lemon juice.
- Continue pumping until the smoothie is completely smooth and bright green.
- Taste and adjust if needed.
- Serve over ice in a tall glass.
Optional Upgrades:
- Extra Refreshing: Add 2-3 additional cucumber slices.
- Citrus Lift: Swap lemon for lime.
- Lemon Thyme Bloom: Replace mint with 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon thyme leaves.
bonTIPS:
- Use fresh mint for the best flavor and aroma.
- Start with cold coconut water or filtered water to keep the smoothie refreshing.
- Serve immediately to keep the color bright and the texture fresh.
- Add more cucumber if you want a lighter, more spa-style drink.
- Blend the cucumber and mint first. This quick step releases the essential oils from the mint and gives the smoothie its fresh, spa-like flavor.
