Ingredients
I use to drink this cucumber coconut water smoothie while doing a detox in Sri Lanka few years ago. This smoothie recipe is made of :
- cucumber
- coconut water (fresh if possible)
- banana
- fresh ginger
- apple cider vinegar.
If you don’t have any fresh coconut water, any coconut water can is fine. I just always make sure it is pure and natural.
Why do I do apple cider vinegar into my morning smoothie?
First of all, you think (rightly) that the apple cider vinegar is too sour in taste to mix in a morning smoothie. Thanks to the banana, coconut water and ginger, it’s a lovely way to hide it in this smoothie recipe.
The apple cider vinegar is well-known to reduce gaz and has a lot of other benefits that makes your life better. If you don’t like a sweet-sour taste, I would recommend to skip the apple cider vinegar but it is the key ingredient against bloating. Another option would be to swap the apple cider vinegar for 1 celery stick or 1/2 avocado, as these 2 ingredients are known to help with bloating too.
When I do few weeks with a fresh lemon juice in the morning, I add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to it, with hot water and a pinch of cayenne pepper. It is supposed to help to detox your body.
