Kitchen Preparation Science
- 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.
- Taste and add another squeeze of lime if you want more brightness.
- 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.
