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 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. Add in some coconut water 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.

🧾 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 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 into the smoothie. You could leave it out.
