  • ½ tsp fresh ginger (grated)

  • 1 cup cold water (or coconut water for extra hydration)

🥤 Instructions

  1. Wash all fresh produce thoroughly.

  2. Add spinach, apple, cucumber, ginger, lemon juice, and water to a blender.

  3. Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined.

  4. Taste and adjust by adding more lemon for tang, more apple for sweetness, or extra water for thinner consistency.

❓ Q&A

Q1: Can I make this drink ahead of time?
A: Yes, but it’s best consumed fresh. If storing, keep it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.

A: Yes, it’s low-calorie, nutrient-dense, and high in fiber, making it a great addition to a weight-loss-friendly diet.

Q4: Can I add sweeteners like honey?
A: You can, but the apple already provides natural sweetness. If you need more, try a teaspoon of honey or dates.

Q5: Can I use a juicer instead of a blender?
A: Yes! A juicer will give you a smoother, pulp-free drink, but blending keeps the fiber intact.
