This Mango Cucumber Mint Smoothie is completely sugar free, has the freshness of cucumber water and delivers an icy blast of mint. It’s a great summer smoothie to add into your smoothie rotation. Plus it’s super low calorie!

Cucumber isn’t the first vegetable that comes to mind when blending up a smoothie. Typically it’s spinach or kale, maybe you’ve attempted one with avocado or maybe even beets.

It’s easy to forget cucumbers, but they have a neutral flavor and are super refreshing – which is probably the reason cucumber water is served at the spa.

How to make this Mango Cucumber Mint Smoothie

Step 1: Peel the cucumber

Remove the skin from the cucumbers. Keeping them on will not only make your smoothie take on a green hue, cucumber skin tends to have a bitter taste.

Step 2: Add all ingredients to a blender.

You won’t need to add ice to this cucumber smoothie since the mango is already frozen.

Can you freeze cucumbers for smoothies?

Just like frozen zucchini pieces, diced cucumber cubes can be frozen for smoothies. Think of them as tiny ice cubes…

This low calorie smoothie is completely sugar free – sweetened only by frozen mango. You can make a big smoothie all for yourself, sit back and be as cool as a cucumber!

It is also one of very few smoothie recipes without bananas which makes it extra light and refreshing.

So whip out your Vitamix and don’t forget the cucumber this summer. It’s high in vitamin C + other anti-oxidants and, at 95% water, it’s super hydrating! This cucumber agua fresca recipe is also a great summer cooler!
