This Cucumber Cooler Smoothie blends cucumber, green apple, mint, lemon, and coconut water into a hydrating, detox-friendly drink. Light, crisp, and packed with natural electrolytes, it’s a perfect post-workout or summer refreshment that soothes and energizes without added sugar or dairy.
Add coconut water to your blender first.
Add cucumber, apple, mint, lemon juice, and ice.
Blend on high until smooth, about 45 seconds.
Taste and adjust: add more mint or lemon for zing, honey for sweetness, or a little more water if it’s too thick.
Pour into glasses, garnish with a cucumber slice or sprig of mint, and serve immediately for maximum refreshment.
