Notes
- You can easily double this recipe to make more servings.
- To make this a creamy smoothie, use almond milk or light canned coconut milk instead of the coconut water.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, you can add up to 1-2 teaspoons of honey.
- Some people find that cucumbers are easier to digest if you peel them. Persian cucumbers are the exception as they are considered a “burpless” cucumber. But, you may wish to peel English cucumbers if they tend to bother your stomach.
