Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Your Ingredients
Rinse your spinach and peel the ginger. If your cucumber isn’t organic, peel it before slicing. Frozen fruit helps with texture, but you can freeze fresh fruit the night before if needed.
2. Load the Blender
Pour coconut water into the base first. Add cucumber, lime juice, ginger, and greens. Then top with frozen fruit, ice, and seeds. This order helps the blender establish a vortex for smoother blending.
3. Blend Until Smooth
Secure the lid. Start on low, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend for 45–60 seconds until silky. The Chefman Obliterator powers through frozen chunks with ease, no stirring needed.
4. Pour and Serve
Serve immediately in chilled glasses. Optional: garnish with a slice of lime or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add protein to this smoothie?

Yes, but it will be thinner and slightly warmer. Consider freezing the cucumber or using more frozen fruit.
What if I don’t like ginger?
Use less or substitute with turmeric or just lime juice for brightness.
