Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to a blender: 1½ cups coconut water, 1¼ cups aloe vera juice (or substitute with decaf green tea or filtered water), ½ lemon peeled (or use juice only—using the whole peeled lemon gives a stronger flavor and more vibrant color), ½ lime peeled, ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup.
2. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and the mixture is a rich, **opaque pale yellow-green** color.
3. Pour through a fine mesh strainer over a glass filled with ice to remove any remaining pulp.
4. Garnish with fresh lemon and lime slices on the rim.
5. Stir and enjoy immediately!
