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 Mexico resort. 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

minutesI 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 hot house cucumber cut into chunks
1 small lemon quartered
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!
This sounds fabulous! I've never had green juice with cucumber or coconut water. I'll try it, thank you!
Do you leave the rind on the lemon?
Yes!
Sounds amazing! Would you recommend the resort? Looking for some vacation ideas! Love the blog.
This looks/sounds/feels and tastes like vacation! I’m on it. Thank you!
Are the lemons peeled?
The rind can be left on.
Would it be possible to get an outdoor kitchen update from Chris? Things he would do the same/differently...and anything he would add/remove? Thanks in advance!
