Cucumber and ginger smoothie

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 heaped teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 banana

¾ cup (185 ml/6 fl oz) 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.

By the way, if you’ve got mint growing in your garden, add in some mint leaves for extra refreshment!
