Spinach and Cucumber Smoothie

A vitamin drink based on kefir with spinach and fresh cucumber is a great option for a fasting day! The green smoothie turns out to be unusual both in appearance and in taste – cilantro and mint give it a special piquancy, which ennobles the rather bland taste and aroma of the basic ingredients.

Cook: 10 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients

• Kefir – 250 ml
• Fresh spinach – 60 g
• Fresh cucumber – 1 pc. (100 g)
