Cucumber Fruit Smoothie
This is the first time I made a smoothie with cucumber fruit. Usually, when I get cucumber fruit for vishu, we make pachadi or kootu. But this time I thought to try a smoothie with it as it was too hot. It is naturally creamy and thick without even adding milk.

You can add banana, mango, and papaya. It goes well along with cucumber.

Yes, you can make this smoothie vegan. Just use coconut milk or almond milk in place of whole milk.

I admit I never thought of cucumber as contender for smoothie, but your recipe had me curious, so I tried it. And it was so lovely and refreshing! Just what I needed on a hot (well look, 20 degrees counts as hot in Ireland) Irish summers day.
Thank you so much. I’m glad you loved it.
So unexpected and refreshing! The perfect way to stay hydrated this summer.
