This Cucumber Smoothie is a refreshing and hydrating blend of cucumber, fruit, yogurt, and citrus — perfect for a light breakfast, post-workout snack, or cooling treat on a warm day.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium cucumber, chopped (peeled if waxy-skinned)
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple or mango
  • 1/2 cup spinach or kale (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lime or lemon juice
  • 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 4–5 fresh mint or basil leaves (optional)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup water or coconut water
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add chopped cucumber, frozen fruit, greens (if using), yogurt, lime juice, and mint leaves (if using) to a blender.
  2. Pour in water or coconut water to help blend smoothly.
  3. Blend until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Taste and adjust with honey for sweetness or more citrus juice for brightness.
  5. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra mint or cucumber slices.

Notes

  • Use frozen fruit to thicken without diluting flavor.
  • Add ginger or chia seeds for extra nutrients and flavor.
  • Swap yogurt with avocado for a dairy-free version.
  • Best served fresh but can be stored up to 24 hours in the fridge.
  • Use cucumber with skin if thin and unwaxed for added fiber.
