📖 Instructions

1. First things first, gently wash the cucumber. No need to peel it if its organic; the skin is packed with nutrients!
2. Slice the cucumber into smaller pieces and add them to your blender.
3. Next, scoop out the coconut meat. If you're using fresh coconut, be careful when opening it! Otherwise, grab your pre-packaged coconut meat.
4. Add the coconut meat to the blender along with the sliced cucumber.
5. Pour in the coconut water. Start with the amount listed in the recipe, and add more later if you want a thinner consistency.
6. Add the yogurt. This will give your smoothie a creamy texture and a boost of probiotics.
7. Squeeze in the lime juice. This adds a tangy flavor that balances the sweetness of the coconut.
8. Throw in a few mint leaves for a refreshing kick. (I once forgot this step, and while it was still good, it lacked that *zing*!)
9. If you're using it, add your sweetener of choice now. Agave, honey, or even a date will work wonders.
10. Blend everything together until smooth. If it's too thick, add more coconut water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Sometimes I even add a tiny splash of pineapple juice. Dont tell anyone!
11. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness as needed. More lime? More sweetener? You're the boss!
12. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a sprig of mint or a slice of cucumber. Serve immediately and enjoy the calming vibes!
