Print Recipe

A refreshing and nutrient-packed green smoothie featuring fresh garden herbs and crisp fruit, perfect for a quick vitality boost in the spring.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, packed
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, loosely packed
  • 8–10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 medium green apple, cored and chopped
  • Half a cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut water
  • Ice cubes (optional, about 1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fresh greens and herbs thoroughly.
  2. Prepare your produce: chop the green apple, peel and chop the cucumber, and roughly chop the parsley and mint if the leaves are large.
  3. Add liquids to your blender first: pour 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened coconut water into the blender jar.
  4. Add the greens and herbs: toss in the 2 cups of fresh spinach, 1/4 cup parsley, and mint leaves.
  5. Add the chopped apple and cucumber.
  6. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice (about 2 tablespoons).
  7. Blend on high speed for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and vibrant green, scraping sides as needed.
  8. Add ice cubes if desired and blend again for 15-20 seconds to chill.
  9. Check consistency and flavor; add more coconut water if too thick or a drizzle of honey/maple syrup if more sweetness is needed.
  10. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Start blending with liquids first to avoid blade blockage. Adjust lemon juice to taste to avoid overpowering the greens. Use a high-speed blender for best texture. Add ice last to prevent icy texture. Substitute kale or Swiss chard for spinach for a stronger flavor. Store in airtight container refrigerated up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
