Harvesting a cucumber is one of our greatest garden joys – once you try a freshly picked cucumber, the supermarket ones will never suffice again. The crunch and sweetness of a homegrown cucumber are delightful, but you can also turn these green wonders into a super refreshing and tasty smoothie. Try this smoothie on a

warm summer’s morning, and you’ll be hooked.

SERVES 2

USE

  • 1 large cucumber, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 banana
  • 185 ml fresh coconut water
  • Handful of ice cubes
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon

DO

  1. Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour the smoothie mixture into two glasses.
