Avocado, Cucumber and Coconut Smoothie Recipe

Makes

4 glasses

Preparation time

5 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ organic cucumber

100g (4oz) rocket

3 sprigs of mint

Flesh of 1 avocado

100ml coconut milk

Juice of 1 lime

150ml grapefruit juice

100ml mineral water

Ice cubes (optional)

Method

Wash the cucumber, rocket and mint. Chop the cucumber coarsely.

Blend the ingredients to a smooth purée using a regular blender or food processor or, failing that, you can use an immersion blender. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can dilute it with a few ice cubes or with a little extra mineral water.
