Ingredients
Ingredients per serving, multiply as necessary
- 1 cup roughly chopped fruit (I recommend hulled strawberries, peeled cucumber, cantaloupe or pineapple)
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 medium lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon pure cane sugar or agave nectar or sweetener of choice (if your fruit is perfectly ripe and sweet, you may not need any sweetener at all)
- Optional: 2 large mint leaves (perfect with cucumber)
Instructions
- In your blender container, combine the fruit, water, lime juice, sweetener and optional mint leaves. Purée until smooth using the smoothie feature. Taste and, if necessary, add more lime and/or sweetener, then blend briefly again.
- Serve immediately, over ice.
