Equipment

  • 1 high-powered blender I haven't tried this with a lower-powered blender, but it may still work.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups water filtered (or coconut water)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 handful fresh parsley
  • 1/2 of a large cucumber
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 handful spinach
  • 1 inch fresh ginger can leave the peel on
  • 1 1/2 ripe bananas frozen (or substitute mango, apple, or pineapple)
  • 1 large handful ice

Instructions

  • Add the ingredients to your blender by layering them as so: first add the liquids, then the fresh ingredients, then the frozen ingredients and ice on top. Blend.
  • Add additional liquid if needed, but it wasn't needed for me.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness if needed, although this smoothie is meant to be just lightly sweet.
  • If you would like a thicker smoothie, you can add additional frozen fruit. (Adding more ice can work too, but it may dilute the flavour.)
