Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie packed with fresh summer produce that promotes clear skin and healthy hair growth. This hydrating and creamy blend uses simple ingredients to give you a natural glow.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • ½ ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • ½ cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • ¼ cup aloe vera juice (pure, no added sugars)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon biotin supplement powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop the cucumber and avocado. Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly. Squeeze 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and set aside.
  2. Add 1 cup almond milk to the blender first to help blades move smoothly.
  3. Add cucumber, avocado, spinach, frozen pineapple chunks, aloe vera juice, chia seeds, and lemon juice to the blender.
  4. Add honey or maple syrup if desired for sweetness. Add biotin powder if using.
  5. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until creamy and lump-free. Add more almond milk or water if too thick; add ice cubes or frozen banana slices if too thin and blend again.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity with more honey or lemon juice if needed.
  7. Serve immediately in a glass or reusable cup. Optionally, garnish with chia seeds or a thin cucumber slice.

Notes

Use ripe avocado for creamy texture. Frozen pineapple chills smoothie without watering it down. Let chia seeds swell for 5 minutes if you prefer less crunch. Always use store-bought aloe vera juice or strain fresh gel well. Liquids first in blender to prevent blades from getting stuck. Can prep produce a day ahead and blend fresh for best flavor.
