This refreshing vegan Coconut Mango Cucumber Smoothie will quench your thirst on a hot Summer day!
Here in Tucson, we are experiencing temps in the 100s. In order to get in a walk comfortably, you need to get it 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. Add in some coconut water or coconut oil and mint, and you have a refreshing summer drink.
