# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes exactly five minutes from cutting board to glass, which means you have no excuse to skip breakfast.
  • The cucumber makes it taste like spa water decided to become a full meal.
02 -
  • If your blender struggles with thick mixtures, add the coconut water first before the fruit so the blades have liquid to work with.
  • Using a frozen banana transforms the texture from drinkable to thick and milkshake like without any dairy at all.
03 -
  • Peel the cucumber fully unless you want tiny green flecks floating in every sip, which looks pretty but bothers some people.
  • Chill your coconut water in the fridge overnight so the smoothie comes out cold without needing to dilute it with ice.
