My friend and I really didn't like it. We wouldn't recommend it. We both like cucumber, but this mix just didn't do it for us. We wouldn't recommend it.

Dee-lish! I didn't have lemons so I added a bit of ginger. So good.

I had a couple of cucumbers laying around and I just made a smoothie based on this recipe. I pared it down to a single serving so I used about a cup of cucumber, with peel but no seeds, about a cup of frozen strawberries (because I didn't have blueberries) and some almond milk instead of yogurt. It was really good, I didn't even need to add any additional sweetener and I enjoyed the subtle cucumber flavor. Good use of cucumber. (No lemons around either)

The taste of cucumber was too strong. I would never make it again

This smoothie was great for my 3yr old, he loved it! I did leave the skin and seeds on the cucumber though to keep the nutrients, fiber and water content intact. It did give it a crumblier texture but it was still really good! You could hardly taste the cucumber.
