Fresh ginger gives this very light green smoothie a warming bite, and coconut water balances it with gentle sweetness. It tastes clean, spicy and fresh.
5 g
ginger peeled, about a thumbnail-sized piece
40 g
baby spinach
8½ oz
coconut water chilled
½
apple for more sweetness and body (optional)
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Light and clean, with a warm ginger bite and a mild green, slightly sweet base.
This is a minimalist green smoothie: spinach, ginger and coconut water. Ginger brings warmth and spice, and a small piece goes a long way, so start carefully. Baby spinach adds colour and leafy greens with hardly any taste of its own.
Because there is no fruit apart from the optional apple, the drink is thin and light, more like a green juice than a thick smoothie. Half an apple adds sweetness and body if you want it. Good as a morning refresher.
About 5 g is noticeable but pleasant; adjust to taste.
Young ginger with thin skin can be used unpeeled after washing.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
