Equipment
Ingredients
- 200 grams seedless green grapes
- 2 teaspoon chia seeds
- Juice of half a lemon
Coconut water smoothie
- 1.5 cup tender coconut water chilled preferably
- ½ teaspoon grated ginger
Punchy mint & ginger
- 1 inch piece of ginger chopped
- fistful of mint leaves to blend optional
- few mint leaves for garnish
- ¼ cup ice cold water
Instructions
- Wash the green grapes well. I usually leave them in water for 10 minutes, then drain them.
- Soak chia seeds in ½ cup water for 15 minutes minimum. Choose one of the two variations in the recipe card.
For Coconut Water Smoothie
- In a blender take green grapes and tender coconut water and blend until smooth. Strain the smoothie using a strainer to remove the grape skin.x
- To this add chia seeds soaked water, ginger and lemon juice. Give a good stir. Serve immediately.
Punchy Minty Ginger Grape Smoothie
- Take grapes, ginger and lemon juice along with water in the blender and blend smooth. Strain the smoothie to remove the grape skin.
- Transfer it to a pitcher, add chia seeds, mint leaves and serve.
Notes
- Chill the liquid you are using for an ice cold smoothie or serve with ice.
- I have not used any sugar to sweeten the juice, if you need any extra sweetness, try adding raw sugar or use honey/agave nectar.
