Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 cup Kale
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 5 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Stevia (optional)
Instructions
Start by washing the baby spinach and kale leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residues.
Peel and chop the cucumber into chunks for easier blending. You should also remove the stone and scoop the flesh from the avocado.
In a blender, combine the unsweetened coconut milk, baby spinach, chopped kale, cucumber chunks, and avocado flesh.
Add the lime juice and the freshly grated ginger for an added zesty and spicy touch.
Add the ice cubes to the mixture, which will make the smoothie refreshing without adding extra carbs.
Sprinkle the chia seeds into the blender. This ingredient will add healthy fiber and omega-3s.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, add the stevia now, adjusting to your preference.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender, this may take 1-3 minutes.
Check the consistency and taste of the smoothie. If it’s too thick, you can add more coconut milk and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
