DESCRIPTION

This Detox Green Cucumber Smoothie is cool, crisp, and ridiculously refreshing — basically a reset button in a glass. Made with cucumber, pineapple, banana, spinach, and lemon - it’s a hydrating, low-calorie green smoothie that comes together in under 5 minutes. I love it on summer mornings when cucumbers and pineapples are in season, and it always helps me feel a little lighter and less bloated. You can keep it simple, add protein for a filling breakfast, or swap in different fruits for endless variations.

INGREDIENTS
  

  • 2 cups English cucumber or Persian cucumbers chopped
  • 1 whole banana
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks frozen or fresh
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 cup soy milk unsweetened
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed

METHOD
 

  • Chop the cucumbers into smaller pieces.
    Note: Peel off the skin, if using a regular cucumber with thicker skin.
  • Place all the ingredients into a blender in following order: soy milk, cucumbers, spinach, pineapple, banana, and lemon juice.
  • Blend using a high-speed blender until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy.
    Note: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more soy milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately.

NOTES

  • Use frozen fruit: Frozen fruit helps create a colder, more refreshing smoothie. If you only have fresh pineapple and banana, add a few cubes of ice to chill the smoothie.
  • Peel cucumbers for a milder flavor: If you prefer a more neutral taste, peel the cucumbers before adding them to the blender.
  • Adjust the consistency: Add more soy milk for a pourable smoothie. Use less soy milk if you want to make a smoothie bowl.
  • Ripe bananas: For the sweetest flavor and creamiest texture, use very spotty bananas.
  • Wash the greens: Thoroughly wash and check over your spinach to avoid grittiness or potential contamination.
