Fresh
Green Glow Refresher
A cool avocado and cucumber smoothie with lemon and fresh herbs for a creamy, lightly zesty green blend.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Avocado — ripe, scooped | 1/3–1/2 medium |
| Cucumber — peeled, sliced | 1/2 cup (70–80 g) |
| Fresh Lemon Juice | 1–2 tbsp |
| Coriander — leaves & tender stems | 2–3 tbsp, loosely packed |
| Base Liquid (milk, kefir, or plain yoghurt + water) | 1/2–3/4 cup (120–180 ml) |
| Ice Cubes | 5–6 cubes |
| Salt (a tiny pinch) & pepper (optional) | to taste |
Method
- Base Layer: Blend 1/3 cup milk/yoghurt with 2 ice cubes until silky white; pour into your bottle for the base.
- Green Layer: Add avocado, cucumber, lemon juice, coriander, remaining liquid and ice. Add a tiny pinch of salt (and pepper if you like). Blend 45–60 sec until cool and smooth.
- Assemble: Gently pour the green blend over the white base to keep the two‑tone effect.
- Serve: Extra cucumber slices and a lemon wedge make it pop.
Make it your own: Not a coriander fan? Mint or parsley both work well. Add a little more liquid if you prefer a thinner, more drinkable texture.

Portable blending notes
Add liquid before powders and firmer ingredients where possible. Cut larger pieces down to size, avoid overfilling the bottle, and add a small splash of liquid if the mixture is too thick to circulate.
Serve and enjoy straight away for the best texture.
