I wanted something that would fill me up, but that would taste a little more like lunch. So I started looking at cucumber smoothies, but didn't find any I liked, so I made my own.
Handful of frozen raspberries and blueberries
About 3 inches of cucumber sliced in half, then half again and chopped.
2 tablespoons ish of fat free yogurt
Enough apple juice to just cover it
Dollop of honey
Blend it all together until there are no/minimal lumps and you get this--->
It's pretty tasty, I'm surprised to be honest. I'm a little skeptical about vegetables in smoothies, drinking vegetables just doesn't appeal to me. But this is really good.
I really like cucumbers and you can definitely taste it in this. There's a sweetness from them, quite unlike the sharpness of the raspberries. The yogurt makes it very creamy, and the apple juice is simply a base for everything else. The little shot of honey makes it just a touch sweeter.
