Cucumber and mint smoothie
Instead of plain water, you may use fresh coconut water to make this drink. It's even better that way. You'll need water from young coconut which is naturally sweet (water from mature coconut is not meant for drinking).
Ingredients
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 teaspoon sugar might be unnecessary if using coconut water
- 3 to 4 mint leaves plus a sprig to garnish
- 2 to 3 ice cubes
Instructions
- Peel the cucumber.
- Cut the peeled cucumber lengthwise and scrape off the seeds.
- Dice the deseeded cucumber.
- Place the diced cucumber in the blender with the ice cubes and a quarter cup of water.
- Process just until smooth.
- Add the mint leaves and pulse two to three times.
- Pour the cucumber cooler into a glass, garnish with a sprig of mint and enjoy!
