A sweet red apple makes this cucumber smoothie fruitier than you might expect. Coconut water keeps it light and adds a delicate natural sweetness.

Light and fruity, with sweet apple, fresh cucumber and a subtle nutty coconut water note.
Cucumber and coconut water are both mostly water, so this smoothie is especially light and thirst quenching. Coconut water naturally contains potassium, which is why it is popular after sport. A sweet red apple, such as Gala or Pink Lady, provides fruitiness and some fibre, and balances the neutral cucumber. There is no added sugar and no dairy. It is a good choice for warm days, after exercise or as a light morning drink.
Yes, the smoothie will be a little less sweet.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
No, wash it well; the peel blends fine in most blenders.
