Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon roasted dandelion root powder (or 1–2 teaspoons if you’re new to the flavor)
  • 1 small ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (plus zest if you like extra brightness)
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut water (or plain water)
  • 1/4 cup plain kefir or unsweetened yogurt (optional for probiotics; use dairy-free if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 4–6 ice cubes (more if using fresh banana)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional, for warmth)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, to enhance flavor and electrolytes)

Method
 

  1. Prep the produce. Peel the banana and ginger. Chop the cucumber. Squeeze the lemon.
  2. Add liquids first. Pour the coconut water into your blender. This helps the blades catch softer ingredients.
  3. Layer the rest. Add banana, cucumber, ginger, lemon juice, kefir or yogurt (if using), roasted dandelion root powder, and a pinch of cinnamon and salt.
  4. Sweeten lightly. Drizzle in honey or maple syrup if you prefer a slightly sweeter, rounder flavor.
  5. Blend until silky. Start low, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds until smooth. Add ice and blend again until cold and frothy.
  6. Taste and adjust. Add more lemon for brightness, more banana for creaminess, or a splash of water if it’s too thick.
  7. Serve right away. Pour into a chilled glass and sip slowly for best digestion.
