Notes

  • Storage: For the best flavor and nutrition, smoothies are best enjoyed immediately after blending. If you're taking it to-go or have leftovers, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. 
  • Water from the cucumber may separate during storage; just give the jar a good shake!
