Ingredients
- 2 large kiwis peeled and quartered
- 1 medium cucumber peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves packed, stems removed

- 1 cup cold water or coconut water for extra flavor

Notes
Storage: This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; separation is natural, so shake or stir before drinking. Make-Ahead: You can pre-chop the kiwi, cucumber, and mint and store them in separate containers in the fridge for up to 1 day for quicker assembly. Variations: For a vegan version, use coconut yogurt and maple syrup. Add a scoop of protein powder for a more filling meal replacement. Serve with a straw for easy sipping.
