Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups baby spinach packed
- 1 cup cucumber chopped, skin on
- 1 cup coconut water chilled
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain, unsweetened
- 1 tsp ground cumin toasted for best aroma
- 0.5 tsp ground coriander fine ground
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice about half a lime
- 0.5 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 pinch black salt or sea salt to enhance minerals
- 4 cubes ice optional for texture
Notes
For the best flavor, lightly toast whole cumin and coriander seeds in a dry pan until fragrant before grinding them. This smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be stored in an airtight glass jar for up to 12 hours; shake well before drinking as natural separation may occur. For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with cashew cream or silken tofu.
