# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and diced

07 - 1/2 cup ice cubes

05 - Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve right away for the best flavor and texture.

01 -

Cucumber makes it endlessly drinkable without the heaviness that all fruit smoothies sometimes carry.
Five minutes is not an exaggeration, and you will spend most of that peeling a mango.
It is genuinely thirst quenching in a way that makes you feel clever for choosing it.

02 -

Room temperature mango and banana blend smoother than ice cold ones, so do not worry about chilling your fruit first.
If your blender struggles with cucumber skin, peel every last strip off because even a small patch can leave stringy green bits throughout.

03 -

Freeze overripe banana slices on a parchment lined tray, then store in a bag so you always have smoothie ready bananas without needing ice.
Squeeze the lime juice directly into the blender last, right before blending, to preserve the brightest flavor possible.
