Here in Tucson, we are experiencing temps in the 100s. In order to get in a walk comfortably, you need to get a walk in early in the morning.
Lately, I have been making this Coconut Mango Cucumber Smoothie to quench my thirst and replace electrolytes. I never thought that I would like cucumber in a smoothie.
I have played around with cucumber smoothies in the past and I didn't like them that much. I think I had the ratio of cucumber to other ingredients off because the taste of the cucumber was always too strong for me.
I think pairing cucumber with the right ingredients makes all the difference in the world. Mango and cucumber go really well together.
Cucumber has a high water content and mango is high in vitamin C. Add in some coconut water for its electrolytes, or coconut oil and mint, and you have a refreshing summer drink.
Some other healthy smoothie recipes are my Vegan Orange Julius recipe, Mango, Banana, and Pineapple Smoothie, Turmeric Smoothie, and Frozen Cauliflower Smoothie with Chocolate.
Have you ever had Baked Cucumber? They can also be fried. They're a fun way and flavorful to eat cucumbers.

❤️ Why You'll Love It
- It's light and refreshing. It's the perfect summer drink to quench your thirst.
- It has the perfect balance of flavors.
- Drink it after a workout or to start your day.
🧾 Ingredients
- Coconut water: Adds a mild coconut flavor and electrolytes.
- English cucumber: I prefer an English cucumber because it has fewer seeds, has a thin skin, and you don't need to peel it. It isn't bitter like other varieties. It also tastes great in cucumber sorbet.
- Mango: You can use fresh mango or frozen mango chunks. Another recipe with mango is my mango coconut ice cream.
- Fresh mint: Adds a wonderful fresh minty taste.
- Coconut oil: Adds more coconut flavor. I added coconut oil to add some fat to the smoothie. You could leave it out.

Step 2: Blend until smooth.
Step 3: Add chopped frozen mango and chopped mint to the blender.

💭 Tip
By blending the coconut oil with the room-temperature ingredients it allows the coconut oil to mix into the smoothie. If you were to add it when blending with the frozen mango, the coconut oil would freeze and be crunchy.
👩🏻🍳 Recipe FAQs
Mango and cucumber go really well together. The combination tastes great with mint and coconut in this coconut mango cucumber smoothie recipe.
I don't recommend keeping this in the fridge for later. Smoothies are best made fresh so that you get all the nutrients, but if you need to save some for later, it'll last 1-2 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
