Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peeled and chopped cucumber
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple
  • 1 banana preferably frozen and separated into chunks
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt sub plant-based yogurt to make vegan
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 5 mint leaves

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender. Add ½ cup water, and blend until smooth. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You do not need to peel the cucumber if you prefer to leave the skin on for extra fiber. Just make sure it's well-washed.
  • This drink is best enjoyed right away, but you can keep it in a sealed jar or container in the fridge for a day or two.
