Have you ever gone on a trip and couldn’t stop thinking about that one dish you had for dinner or that delicious croissant from that bakery you might never revisit? Well, I haven’t been able to get this green juice out of my head since I tried it at a resort in Mexico. There’s something so refreshing about a yummy green juice, and I don’t feel bad for drinking as much as I want. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

I’ve lowered the sugar level on this recipe, but feel free to sweeten it some more with a touch of honey or by adding less coconut water. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
Resort Green Juice Copycat Recipe
Servings: glasses
I developed this juice after a trip we took to Mexico where I couldn't get enough of the green juice. I've lowered the sugar level on mine but it can easily be sweetened with a touch of honey or by adjusting the coconut water.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium canary or honeydew melon peeled, insides scooped out, flesh cut into pieces
- 3 medium Fuji apples, cores removed
- 1 large English cucumber, cut into chunks
- 1 small lemon, quartered
- 1 small container or bag of washed spinach
- 2 cups coconut water
- honey optional
Directions:
- Add the melon, apples, lemon, and cucumber to a high power blender and blend until a loose juice forms. Add the spinach and blend until incorporated. Add the coconut water and blend on high until uniform.
- Pass the mix through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher or large bowl. For a juice with more pulp, use the back of a spoon to push the juice through the strainer. For less pulp, allow the juice to sit and strain slowly. use a spoon to scoop away the pulp that has settled in the strainer from time to time.
- Put the juice in a pitcher in the fridge to chill, or serve immediately with ice. Adjust the sweetness by adding more coconut water (if too sweet) or a little honey (if not sweet enough).
I make Chris’s recipe for the mango smoothie often and it is one of the family favorites. I made this drink and it is also delicious and will stay on regular rotation. I couldn’t find a honeydew that was really ripe and sweet so I used what I could find and added honey to taste. If the melon had been more ripe I don’t think it needs additional sweetener. I didn’t see the note to leave the peel on the lemon so I peeled mine so that may also change the sweetness of the drink.
DECLICIOUS! I’m hooked.
Tried this today but used lime instead of lemon and it was SO GOOD, I couldn’t get enough of it myself. Thank you for the recipe!
May I ask what kind of high power blender he uses as this is a lot to blend and it looked like it did it with ease. Thank you.
It’s a Vitamix. It won our blender wars test!
Would love to try this. My blender does not work like that. It’s older than my youngest child 😂. Would you please share the name of your blender so I can try this drink. I have to lower my triglycerides and this might just be the breakfast drink I need!
