Ingredients
- 2 fuji apples, peeled and cored

- 1 ½ cups spinach
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 1 cup coconut water

- Using a fine mesh strainer, pour small amounts of liquid at a time into a glass.
- Serve over ice and enjoy!
Notes
Substitutions:
- You can use Honeycrisp apples instead of Fuji.
- I barely use sweetener, but if you do, feel free to use honey or agave instead of simple syrup.
- If you don't have baby cucumbers, use 1/4-1/2 of a normal sized cucumber.
Expert Tips:
- If your ingredients (I.E. the apples) aren't sweet, you will need sweetener.
- You can freeze this drink to make a slush!
- To ensure you get all the juice possible, when straining, push the pulp against the sieve with a spoon or your fingers until it becomes a thick paste in the sieve. Dump it out and repeat until all the juice is strained.
