Method
Preparation
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients. Peel the banana and slice it into smaller pieces for easier blending. If using fresh ginger, peel and grate the ginger.
Prepare the Spinach
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt and debris. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Blending
Combine Ingredients in Blender
In a blender, combine the coconut water, fresh spinach, banana, chia seeds, and honey (or maple syrup). If you are using any optional add-ins, include them at this stage.
Add Ice
Add the ice cubes to the blender. This will help to chill the drink and create a refreshing texture.
Blend Until Smooth
Blend the mixture on high speed until it is completely smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender, this may take about 30-60 seconds.
Serving
Pour and Enjoy
Once blended, pour the drink into a glass or a shaker bottle. You can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a slice of banana on the rim if desired. Enjoy your healthy energy drink alternative!
