Fresh, light and wonderfully refreshing, this cucumber and herb smoothie is a delicious option if you’re looking to cut back on sugar or prefer something less sweet. Cucumber and kale combine with fragrant basil, thyme and oregano to bring a variety of micronutrients and plant antioxidants to your glass, while a little coconut water adds gentle natural sweetness. With no added sugar, it’s a simple way to enjoy more greens and fresh herbs—best served ice-cold.
