Kitchen Preparation Science

  1. Add the coconut water, spinach, and mint to the blender first, followed by the pineapple, cucumber, lime juice, and ice. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until silky.
  2. Taste and add another squeeze of lime if you want more brightness.
  3. Serve over fresh ice.

Kitchen science: Pineapple’s natural enzymes and acidity carry the sweetness, so this snack smoothie needs zero added sugar — and blending the mint with the liquid base keeps the herbal notes evenly distributed instead of floating on top.

Allergens: None of the top allergens.

Swerve/Alternative Option: Swap the pineapple for ¾ cup (120 g) of honeydew melon, or use plain filtered water instead of coconut water.
