Nothing beats a crisp cucumber for a refreshing summer treat. This cool, healthy fruit (yes, it's a fruit!) tastes best from May to August – perfect for the hottest months. This cucumber melon smoothie hits the spot!
2Cucumbersde-seed a regular cucumber or use a seedless cucumber, sliced. I kept the peel on, but you can take it off if you want.
¼cupssweet basilmore if you like it, I do and usually do a ½ cup
1cupsalmond milkI used vanilla to give it a little extra flavor
2teaspoonsagave nectar
Crushed Ice
Instructions
In your blender, toss in the sweet basil and chop well.
Add some of the almond milk. Add the cucumbers and cantaloupe and blend until smooth.
Add the rest of the almond milk, the agave nectar or honey and at least a cup of ice, but I usually use 2 or 3 cups of ice. It extends the smoothies and it still tastes great.
