Equipment Needed

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cool running water. Remove the green tops and slice larger berries in half. Using ripe strawberries will provide the sweetest flavor and brightest color.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
Add the strawberries, coconut water, filtered water, lemon juice, grated ginger, and honey (if using) to a blender. Blend on high speed for about 60 seconds or until completely smooth.
The mixture should become bright pink and silky with no visible chunks of fruit.
Step 3: Strain (Optional)
For an extra-smooth wellness drink, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher. Use a spoon to press the liquid through while leaving the seeds behind.
If you enjoy more fiber and texture, you can skip this step.
Step 4: Add Ice
Add the ice cubes to the blender and pulse a few times, or simply pour the drink over ice-filled glasses.
Step 5: Serve
Pour into serving glasses and garnish with fresh strawberry slices, lemon wheels, or mint leaves for a beautiful presentation.
Serve immediately while cold and fresh.
Flavor Variations

Blend in a handful of baby spinach. It adds nutrients without significantly affecting the flavor.
Strawberry Cucumber Cooler
Add half a peeled cucumber for an extra-hydrating and spa-inspired beverage.
