- 1 cup green grapes (washed)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (plus extra for garnish)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 cup coconut water

- Prepare the Ingredients
Make sure all your fruits are properly washed. Peel and slice the cucumber and kiwis. Measure out the green grapes, mint leaves, and lime juice. Have the coconut water and ice (if using) ready.

In a blender, combine the sliced cucumber, kiwis, green grapes, and fresh mint leaves. Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice and coconut water. If you prefer a colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes.
- Puree Until Smooth
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more coconut water to reach your desired consistency.
