Ingredients
  

1 medium cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped into small pieces

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Juice of 1 medium lime (approximately 2 tablespoons)

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (adjust according to sweetness preference)

1 cup fresh mint leaves (plus additional sprigs for garnish)

1 cup ice cubes

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Begin by peeling the cucumber, then chop it into smaller chunks to facilitate easier blending.

    Blend Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, combine the chopped cucumber, Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lime juice, honey (or agave syrup), fresh mint leaves, and a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

      Add Ice for Chill: Introduce the ice cubes to the blender to ensure your smoothie is wonderfully refreshing.

        Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high for 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. If you prefer a thinner texture, feel free to add a splash of cold water or a bit more yogurt as needed.

          Taste Test and Adjust: Pour a small amount into a glass to taste the smoothie. Adjust the sweetness by incorporating more honey or agave syrup, or add an extra squeeze of lime juice depending on your taste preference.

            Serve with Style: Carefully pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint on top to add a vibrant touch and an aromatic hint.

              Enjoy Immediately: Delight in your refreshing smoothie right away while it’s cold and invigorating!
