This Mango Cucumber Mint Smoothie is completely sugar free, has the freshness of cucumber water and delivers an icy blast of mint. It’s a great summer smoothie to add into your smoothie rotation. Plus it’s super low calorie!

Cucumber water is SO refreshing. That is true for cucumber smoothies too! This Mango Cucumber Mint Smoothie is light and refreshing and perfectly sweet without the addition of sweeteners. It's what a healthy smoothie should be! | SMOOTHIES | CUCUMBER | MANGO | VEGAN | Recipe at OatandSesame.com

Cucumber isn’t the first vegetable that comes to mind when blending up a smoothie. Typically it’s spinach or kale, maybe you’ve attempted one with avocado or maybe even beets.

It’s easy to forget cucumbers, but they have a neutral flavor and are super refreshing – which is probably the reason cucumber water is served at the spa.

How to make this Mango Cucumber Mint Smoothie

Step 1: Peel the cucumber

Remove the skin from the cucumbers. Keeping them on will not only make your smoothie take on a green hue, cucumber skin tends to have a bitter taste.

Step 2:  Add all ingredients to a blender.

You won’t need to add ice to this cucumber smoothie since the mango is already frozen.


Can you freeze cucumbers for smoothies?

Just like frozen zucchini pieces, diced cucumber cubes can be frozen for smoothies. Think of them as tiny ice cubes…

This low calorie smoothie is completely sugar free – sweetened only by frozen mango. You can make a big smoothie all for yourself, sit back and be as cool as a cucumber!

It is also one of very few smoothie recipes without bananas which makes it extra light and refreshing.

So whip out your Vitamix and don’t forget the cucumber this summer. It’s high in vitamin C + other anti-oxidants and, at 95% water, it’s super hydrating! This cucumber agua fresca recipe is also a great summer cooler!

    I tried this, and it was fantastic! I’m allergic to bananas, and so it’s hard to find smoothie recipes that are without and still tasty. Thank you so much for sharing!

      Thanks Allison! It must be tough to have a banana allergy – it seems like they are in every smoothie! I’m so happy you enjoyed this one!

    Milk + Lemon = Curdled Milk!!! Are you sure we need to add lime AND milk?

      Hi Gunner. There is no curdling. I use almond or oat milk when making this smoothie. Other readers have added yogurt to add creaminess. You could leave out the milk if you would like – just use water.
