Creamy Pineapple Cucumber Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sliced cucumber (skin on // organic when possible)
• 1 heaping cup cubed pineapple (if frozen, omit ice)
• 1/2 large ripe, peeled, frozen banana
• 1/4 cup light coconut milk*
• 1/2 cup filtered water
• 1 medium lime, zested + juiced (~1 tsp zest // 2 Tbsp (30 ml) juice per 1 lime)
• 1 large handful greens (spinach or kale // organic when possible)
• 2-4 ice cubes

Instructions

• Add cucumber, pineapple, frozen banana, light coconut milk, water, lime zest, lime juice, greens, and ice cubes to a blender and blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
• For a thicker smoothie, add more ice. For a thinner smoothie, add more liquid of choice. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lime juice or zest for acidity/brightness, banana or pineapple for sweetness, coconut milk for creaminess, and greens for more intense green color.
• Serve immediately. Leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 24 hours, though best when fresh.

Notes

* For creamier smoothie, use canned light coconut milk. For a lighter smoothie, use coconut beverage from a carton or sub coconut water!
*For added protein, add 1-2 Tbsp (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) hemp seeds or chia seeds, or your favorite neutral or vanilla-flavored protein powder. I don't have any favorite powders at the moment, but Vega Viva Vanilla is the closest thing to palatable I've found.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.
