Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 English cucumber
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • A few mint leaves optional

Instructions
 

  • Add Ingredients to Blender: Begin by adding your plant-based milk (like oat milk) to the blender. This liquid helps to combine all the ingredients and facilitates smooth blending. Next, add the cucumber, frozen banana, and frozen strawberries. You can slice the cucumber into smaller pieces to make blending easier. If you’re using mint, add a few leaves to the blender for a refreshing herbal note.
  • Blend: Blend everything on high speed for about 2 minutes, ensuring that all ingredients are fully combined and the texture is smooth. Occasionally pause the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure that the mixture is thoroughly incorporated.
  • Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a small amount of more plant-based milk to help it blend better. However, be cautious and add gradually to avoid making the smoothie too thin.
  • Serve: Once you have achieved a smooth, creamy texture, pour your strawberry cucumber smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use Frozen Fruits: Freezing your fruits, especially the banana and strawberries, ensures that the smoothie is thick and cold without needing extra ice.
Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, consider adding a teaspoon of honey, agave syrup, or stevia.
Chill Your Glasses: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your glasses in the fridge before serving.
For Thicker Smoothies: Add more frozen fruit or less milk to make your smoothie thicker.
