Cucumber Mint Yogurt Smoothie

Cucumber, mint and plain yogurt make a savoury-leaning, cooling blended drink. It's a refreshing option for people who want something less fruit-forward.

Ingredients

Method

1. Wash and prepare the cucumber. Remove large seeds if you prefer less watery texture, and cut the flesh into small pieces.
2. Add cold water and yogurt to the blender bottle, followed by cucumber, washed mint and lemon juice.
3. Ensure the bottle is not overfilled. Blend following the manufacturer's instructions and stop if the ingredients jam.
4. Serve chilled and clean the bottle promptly after the yogurt drink.

Make it your own: For a drink closer to a thin yogurt lassi, use a little more water and a little less yogurt in your next batch. Adding salt is optional; start without it and season to taste after blending.

Portable blender notes

Ingredient volumes and density vary. Adjust the quantities downward if necessary for your specific appliance and never exceed its working fill line. Add suitable cold liquid first, prepare fruit into small pieces and check the frozen-fruit and ice precautions before making substitutions. Do not force stalled blades. Follow the Smothie manual for model-specific guidance.
