What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 tsp spirulina powder
- 1.5 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 0.5 whole English cucumber chopped
- 1 cup cold coconut water
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Produce
Chop the fresh pineapple into rough chunks and slice the cucumber. Grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater. There is no need to peel the cucumber as the skin contains additional nutrients.
Step 2: Load the Blender
Add the coconut water to the blender first followed by the pineapple cucumber ginger mint leaves and spirulina powder. Adding liquid first protects the blender motor and ensures smoother blending.
Step 3: Blend on High
Blend everything on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds until completely smooth. If you prefer a juice-like texture strain it through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag after blending.
Step 4: Taste and Serve
Taste the blend and adjust sweetness with a small amount of honey if needed though the pineapple usually provides enough natural sweetness. Pour over ice and garnish with a mint sprig.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- spirulina powder → chlorella powder for a milder earthy flavor with similar detoxifying benefits
- coconut water → filtered water with a pinch of sea salt for a lower-sugar hydration base
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Adding too much spirulina which creates an overpowering seaweed flavor that masks all other ingredients
- Using canned pineapple in syrup instead of fresh which adds unnecessary sugar and lacks beneficial digestive enzymes
