Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana, chopped cucumber, fresh mint leaves, sea salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional liquid if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use fresh mint for the best flavor; if unavailable, substitute with peppermint tea concentrate cooled. Adding the ice last helps control the smoothie consistency.
