cucumber and mint thing — it's barely a recipe but it's cold

Been doing this one after sessions when I can't be bothered to actually make anything. Basically just cucumber blended with a big handful of mint, squeeze of lime, a bit of ginger, cold water and a load of ice. That's it. Sometimes I throw in a bit of coconut water if I've got it open already. It comes out this really pale green colour, super thin and cold and honestly just hits different to a smoothie when it's been a warm one out there. Not filling at all mind you, which is kind of the point — I usually have it while I'm sorting out actual food. I've tried adding yoghurt to bulk it up a bit and it works, goes creamier obviously, but then it's a whole other thing. Either way it takes about two minutes and I've been making it basically every other day.

I make something similar but I chuck a bit of frozen mango in — stays thin enough, just takes the edge off the bitterness from the mint a bit

celery works well in this too

does it change the texture much or still stay watery?
