Ingredients & Substitutions
Cucumbers are so hydrating, and the fresh mint gives this drink a cooling sensation that’s just divine. You can substitute spinach with kale if you prefer, but I find spinach blends a bit smoother. If it’s not mint season, you can use dried mint, but fresh is always best!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to use a high-speed blender for this— it really gets everything super smooth.
- •If you want an extra zing, try adding a small piece of ginger before blending!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll toss in a green apple for a touch of sweetness and added fiber.
- •If I’m in the mood for a little spice, I’ll add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a kick!
Storage & Freezing
Keep any leftover elixir in a mason jar in the fridge. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but it’ll stay good for a day or two. Just remember to shake it up before you drink it!
