Cool! Tasty! Healthy! These are the words that cross my mind when I drink Cucumber Kale Ginger Smoothie. Cucumber cools down the stomach, Kale is an all-rounder super green food, Ginger makes this smoothie easy digestible. I also added avocado to include healthy fats and to thicken the consistency.
