A hydrating blend of sweet mango and crisp cucumber with coconut water, ready in minutes.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced (about 1 ½ cups)

02 - 1 small cucumber, peeled and chopped (about 1 cup)

03 - 1 cup coconut water or plain water

04 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

05 - 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional, to taste)

06 - 4–6 fresh mint leaves (optional)

07 - Ice cubes (optional, for serving)

01 - Place the diced mango, chopped cucumber, coconut water (or plain water), and fresh lime juice into the blender jar.

02 - If using honey or agave syrup and fresh mint leaves, add them to the blender.

03 - Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks remain.

04 - Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or agave syrup if desired, then blend briefly to incorporate.

05 - Add ice cubes if desired and blend again briefly. Pour into glasses and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

It takes exactly five minutes from thought to glass, which is faster than deciding what to watch on TV.
The cucumber makes it feel like a spa treatment you actually get to drink, hydrating and impossibly fresh.

02 -

A cucumber that has been sitting in the fridge too long will taste bitter and muddy in the smoothie, so taste a slice before committing the whole thing to the blender.
Coconut water brands vary wildly in sweetness and flavor, so find one you enjoy drinking on its own before blending with it.

03 -

Freeze your diced mango spread on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a bag, so you never end up with one solid unusable lump when you need it.
A tiny pinch of salt in the blender enhances every flavor without making it taste salty, and most people will never guess your secret.
