  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup coconut water or water
  • Ice cubes (optional)

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by washing and chopping all the necessary ingredients. Peel and chop the cucumber, core and chop the apple, peel and pit the avocado, and wash the spinach leaves thoroughly.
  2. Blend Cucumber and Spinach: In a blender, add the chopped cucumber and spinach leaves.
  3. Add Avocado and Apple: Add the peeled and pitted avocado and chopped green apple to the blender.
  4. Squeeze Lemon Juice: Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the blender. The acidity will help balance the flavors and preserve the green color of the smoothie.

  7. Optional Sweetener: If you prefer your smoothie on the sweeter side, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup at this stage.
  8. Blend Until Smooth: Cover the blender and blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If desired, you can add a few ice cubes to make the smoothie colder and more refreshing.
  9. Taste and Adjust: Once the smoothie is blended, taste it and adjust the flavors if necessary. You can add more lemon juice for acidity, more cumin for spice, or sweetener for additional sweetness.
  10. Serve: Pour the green smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy the refreshing and nutritious drink as a breakfast or snack option.
  11. Optional Garnish: For an extra touch, you can garnish the smoothie with a slice of cucumber or a sprinkle of ground cumin before serving.
