Garden Fresh and Summer-Ready: My Go-To Cucumber Pineapple Smoothie

There’s something extra satisfying about blending up a smoothie with ingredients straight from your own backyard. This week I picked the very first cucumber from our garden — a milestone moment for this garden newbie! It felt like summer in a glass when I paired it with frozen pineapple, a little fresh mint, and my favorite vanilla protein.

Here’s the recipe so you can try it too!
