Cucumber Banana Glow Smoothie
Ingredients
1 medium banana (frozen slices work best for a creamy texture)
1 medium cucumber (peeled if you want a smoother texture, or unpeeled for extra fiber)
1-2 teaspoons honey (adjust to your preferred sweetness)
1/2 cup liquid base (water, coconut water, or almond milk)
Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice for brightness or a few ice cubes.
Instructions
Prep the Produce: Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Slice the cucumber and the banana into chunks to make them easier to blend.
Combine: Place the cucumber, banana, honey, and your choice of liquid into a blender.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.
Taste Test: Sip a small amount. If you’d like it sweeter, add a touch more honey. If it’s too thick, add a splash more liquid.
Serve: Pour into a glass and garnish with thin cucumber slices, just like in your photo!
Quick Tips for the Best Result
Coldness: If your fruit isn’t frozen, add 3–4 ice cubes before blending to get that chilled, refreshing finish.
Texture: Cucumbers have a high water content, so you may not need much extra liquid. Start with a small amount and add more as you go.
