Ingredient substitutions

Cucumber

Water: Use only if cucumber is unavailable, adding enough water to keep the blender moving.

Spinach

Cucumber: Keeps the smoothie fresh and green but makes it lighter and less leafy.

Mint

Lime: Adds extra brightness when mint is not available, though the cooling aroma will be reduced.

Green apple

Honey: Use only a small amount for sweetness, with extra cucumber or water for volume.

Lime

Green apple: Adds gentle tartness and fruitiness, but the smoothie will taste less sharp.

Water

Ice: Blend a little longer so the ice breaks down fully into the smoothie.
