½ cup fresh parsley (flat-leaf or curly)

1 small green apple or ½ banana (optional for sweetness)

1 cup cold water or coconut water

3–4 ice cubes (optional)

1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseed (optional)

Instructions

Prep your greens: Rinse parsley and kale thoroughly to remove any grit.

Add to blender: Place parsley, kale, and peeled lime into the blender.

Add liquid + extras: Pour in the water or coconut water. Add fruit or seeds if using.

Blend until smooth: Start on low, then increase speed to high for 30–60 seconds until silky.

Taste + adjust: Add more lime for brightness, more water for a thinner texture, or a few ice cubes for chill.

Serve immediately: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy the vibrant flavor and energizing freshness.

Serving and Storage Tips

Best enjoyed fresh: Nutrients in leafy greens degrade quickly, so drink within 10–15 minutes for maximum benefits.

Short-term storage: If needed, store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours. Shake well before drinking.

Make-ahead prep: Pre-portion kale, parsley, and peeled lime in freezer bags. When ready, just add liquid and blend.
