Cucumber makes this green smoothie taste like a cold glass of garden. It is watery, crisp and far less intense than smoothies with stronger greens.
30 g
baby spinach
10 g
flat-leaf parsley
150 g
cucumber about a quarter, unpeeled
4 oz
water
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Cool, crisp and grassy with the clean taste of cucumber and a herbal parsley finish.
Cucumber consists mostly of water, which is why it tastes so refreshing and blends so easily. Together with mild baby spinach and aromatic parsley it makes a light vegetable drink with very little sugar.
The smoothie is a good option on hot days or as a savoury drink with lunch. A pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice turn it almost into a cold soup, while a green apple takes it in a fruitier direction.
