Ingredients | Coconut Water Smoothie Recipe

½ small cucumber, sliced thin

½ nectarine, pitted and chopped

½ lemon, sliced

½ lemon, juiced

½ lime, sliced

½ lime, juiced

4 slices ginger root, peeled, or more to taste

10 melissa leaves (lemon balm), or more to taste

2 quarts water

1 drop liquid stevia, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

Place cucumber, nectarine, lemon slices, lemon juice, lime slices, lime juice, ginger, and melissa leaves in a large pitcher; mash gently with a wooden spoon. Pour in water, stir, and refrigerate until flavors blend, 2 hours to overnight. Strain; serve over ice.

I prefer to use organic lemons and limes.

Melissa leaves can be substituted with fresh mint leaves; lime substituted with slices and juice of a red grapefruit; and nectarine substituted with peach, if desired.

If you like your water fizzy, add some sparkling mineral water as well.

Pitcher can be refilled with water 1 to 2 more times before it loses flavor. Keeps for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
