Ingredients
Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped English cucumber or Persian cucumber, or peeled and chopped standard cucumber
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks, or 1 ripe frozen banana
- Ice (optional, omit if using frozen fruit)
Instructions
- Blend cucumber and greens. Add the chopped cucumber, baby spinach, almond milk, and Greek yogurt to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and the vegetables are fully pureed.
- Add tropical fruits. Add the frozen mango and pineapple chunks to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Adjust consistency. Check the smoothie’s thickness. Add ice cubes or water to the blender as desired, then blend once more until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Serve immediately. Pour the smoothie into two glasses and enjoy fresh for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- If you have a high-speed blender, you can add all ingredients at once. Pour almond milk and Greek yogurt first, then layer the fruits and vegetables on top for even blending.
- Use fresh or frozen pineapple and mango depending on availability; frozen fruits will chill the smoothie and add thickness.
- Adjust sweetness with the choice of ripe frozen banana instead of mango if you prefer a naturally sweeter smoothie.
- Omit ice if using frozen fruits to avoid diluting flavor.
- This smoothie can be customized by substituting coconut milk for almond milk for a different flavor profile.
