Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cold water or coconut water (for light sweetness and electrolytes)
  • 1 small lemon, peeled and seeded (or use the juice of 1 large lemon)
  • 1–1.5 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced (adjust to taste)
  • 1 small apple or pear, cored and chopped (adds natural sweetness and fiber)
  • 1/2 frozen banana (for creaminess and balance)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (fiber and healthy fats)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional, for extra warmth and color)
  • Pinch of black pepper (optional, helps your body use turmeric more effectively)
  • Handful of ice (if you want it extra cold)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, if you prefer it sweeter)

Method
 

  1. Prep the produce: Peel and seed the lemon. Peel the ginger. Core the apple or pear. Chop into chunks for easier blending.
  2. Layer the blender: Add water (or coconut water) first, then lemon, ginger, apple/pear, banana, chia or flax, turmeric, and pepper.
  3. Blend until smooth: Start on low, then increase speed for 30–45 seconds, until silky.
  4. Taste and adjust: Add honey or maple if needed. If it’s too tart, add a little more banana or a splash of coconut water.
  5. Chill and serve: Toss in ice and blend again if you want it frosty. Pour into a cold glass and enjoy right away.
