Cool as a Cucumber Smoothie

Makes 1 serving

At 96% water, cucumber is one of the most hydrating foods on the block. Combine it with spinach, celery, banana, pineapple and Greek yogurt for a super body boost post-workout.

This pretty green number comes from my book, Smoothies & Juices: Prevention Healing Kitchen. Blend it up after your next sweat session and drop me a note to let me know what you think!
