- Cucumber: Light and hydrating, it keeps the smoothie fresh-tasting.
- Chia seeds: Tiny but powerful, they add a subtle crunch and a fun texture to any treat.
- Lime: Adds a zesty, refreshing tang that enhances the overall flavor.
- Mango: Tropical sweetness that makes the smoothie vibrant and delicious.

What You Can Add to This Smoothie
- Banana: Adds creaminess and natural sweetness.
- Protein powder: Makes it a complete meal, perfect for post-workout recovery.
- Avocado: Creates a luxuriously creamy texture while adding healthy fats.

Tips & Tricks
- Use ice cubes: Keeps the smoothie refreshingly chilled and adds a frosty texture.
- Blend in stages: If your blender struggles with tougher greens like kale, start by blending them with orange juice or water before adding the other ingredients.
- Freeze fruits and veggies: Freezing kiwifruit, cucumber, or mango adds extra chill and makes the smoothie thicker.
- Balance the sweetness: Adjust with more mango or orange juice if needed.

Storing and Serving Suggestions
This green smoothie tastes best fresh, but you can refrigerate it for up to 48 hours. For the best freshness:
- Store: Use an airtight jar to minimize oxidation.
- Shake before serving: Natural separation is normal, so just give it a good shake.

If smoothies are your go-to, you’ll adore the Apple Carrot Smoothie, Beetroot and Strawberries Smoothie, and Creamy Plum Smoothie, each packed with flavor and nutrients to keep you energized.
Avoiding Common Smoothie Mistakes
- Too Bitter: Add more apples or a banana to balance the flavor.
- Too Thick: Thin it out with a splash of water or coconut water.
- Not Blending Smoothly: Blend in stages, starting with the liquid and greens, before adding the harder produce.

Meal Prep and Storage Tips
- Prep ahead: Chop your ingredients and store them in individual freezer bags for easy blending in the morning.
- Batch Blend: Double or triple the recipe and store in jars. For short-term storage, refrigerate for up to 48 hours. For longer storage, freeze the smoothie in airtight jars or freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and shake well before drinking.
