Glowing Tonic
Whip up this Glowing Tonic for a super refreshing drink. It's packed with green apples and spinach, so it’s a nice way to get some veggies in.
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers
- 2 green apples
- 2 inches fresh ginger, peeled
- 2 cups spinach leaves
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
- 2 cups coconut water
- 4-8 ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the cucumbers, green apples, and spinach leaves.
- Roughly chop the cucumbers and green apples into pieces that will fit comfortably into your juicer or blender. Peel and roughly chop the fresh ginger.
- If using a juicer: Feed the chopped cucumbers, green apples, fresh ginger, and spinach leaves through your juicer according to its instructions. Collect the juice in a large pitcher.
- If using a blender: Add the chopped cucumbers, green apples, fresh ginger, spinach leaves, and coconut water to a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth. If desired, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag for a smoother consistency, pressing down to extract all the liquid.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher or blender. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness if desired (though typically not needed with these ingredients).
- Serve immediately over ice, if preferred. This tonic is best enjoyed fresh.
