Strawberry Banana Cucumber Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (can sub cashew milk, or coconut milk beverage for a slightly different flavor)
½ cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
1½ cups previously frozen strawberries (I buy pre-frozen strawberries for convenience)
1½ very ripe bananas, previously sliced and frozen on a tray so they don't stick together

OPTIONAL ADD INS:

½ tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseed meal for extra fiber
1 to 2 handfuls spinach for added nutrition (this does turn the smoothie into a muddy color; however, you can't taste the spinach)

Slightly defrost the strawberries (if whole) in the microwave on the defrost setting.
They should be slightly soft but still mostly cold. (You may be able to skip this step if you have a high-powered blender and it can handle anything).
To a blender add the milk and cucumber. Blend on high until well-blended.
Add the slightly defrosted strawberries, bananas, and any optional add-ins of your choice (see suggestions above).
Blend on high until it's smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
Add a little more almond milk if things have a tough time moving, but try not to add too much; otherwise it will become "watered" down in flavor.
Serve immediately.
