Strawberry Cucumber Smoothie (via Joy the Baker)

• a heaping 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries
• 1 cup cold almond milk
• half an English (hot house) cucumber, deseeded and chopped into large chunks
• 1 to 2 tablespoons honey
• a squeeze of lemon if you’d like

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend!  Add more almond milk as necessary, depending on your desired consistency.  You can also enjoy the smoothie made with frozen blueberries or blackberries.

It was delicious! I didn’t have almond milk on hand so I used my standard 1% cow milk… I imagine it will taste even better when I use almond milk. I also just used a standard Burpless cucumber (peeled) because that’s what my garden is giving me on an almost daily basis. Also: I like things sweet so I went with ~2 tablespoons of honey and ~1 tablespoon of Agave nectar, but if I had the almond milk I probably would’ve skipped the Agave.

I think I’ll be drinking a lot of these in the coming weeks while I struggle to keep up with my garden’s cucumber output.

Enjoy!
