1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 cup coconut water (or filtered water)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
PREPARATION
Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and chop them. Peel the cucumber and avocado, and cut them into small pieces. Peel and grate the ginger, and slice the banana. Gather all the ingredients in one place.
Blend the Greens: In a blender, add the fresh spinach leaves and coconut water (or filtered water). Blend until you get a smooth green base.
Add the Fruits and Vegetables: Now, add the sliced banana, chopped cucumber, pineapple chunks, avocado, and grated ginger to the green base in the blender.
Boost with Chia Seeds: Sprinkle the chia seeds on top of the other ingredients in the blender.
Squeeze in Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the mixture for a tangy twist.
Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid of the blender and blend all the ingredients until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency.
Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie seems too thick, you can add a little more coconut water or filtered water until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve and Enjoy: Pour the detox smoothie into a glass and garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint, if desired. Sip and savour the refreshing flavours while knowing that you're nourishing your body with wholesome goodness.
