Green Glow Refresher
Creamy avocado meets crisp cucumber, bright lemon, and fresh cilantro for a cooling, savory‑leaning smoothie that matches your photos — with the same white‑to‑green layered look.
Think spa water turned smoothie: hydrating, smooth, and lightly zesty.
The “Green Glow Refresher”
Built from what’s pictured: avocado, lemon, cucumber, cilantro + ice, and a pale base for the layered finish.
Here’s what you’ll need:
| Ingredient | Estimated Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Avocado — ripe, scooped | 1/3–1/2 medium | Gives creaminess and healthy fats. |
| Cucumber — peeled, sliced | 1/2 cup (70–80 g) | Hydrating and crisp; peel if skins are bitter. |
| Fresh Lemon Juice | 1–2 tbsp | Brightens the flavor and keeps the green vibrant. |
| Cilantro — leaves & tender stems | 2–3 tbsp, loosely packed | Herby lift (skip if you’re not a cilantro fan). |
| Base Liquid (milk, kefir, or plain yogurt + water) | 1/2–3/4 cup (120–180 ml) | For the layered look, we’ll blend a pale base first. |
| Ice Cubes | 5–6 cubes | Chilled, slushy texture. |
| Salt (a tiny pinch) & pepper (optional) | to taste | Just a pinch makes the flavors pop. |
Let’s Get Blending!
-
Base Layer: Blend 1/3 cup milk/yogurt with 2 ice cubes until silky white; pour into your bottle for the base.
-
Green Layer: Add avocado, cucumber, lemon juice, cilantro, 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.
Done! A refreshing, creamy‑light Green Glow Refresher that’s perfect for warm days.
