Notes

For optimal flavor and texture, ensure the cucumber is thoroughly peeled and seeded; this prevents any bitterness and results in a smoother drink. Using frozen blueberries is crucial for a thick, cold consistency without needing ice, which can dilute the flavor. Adjust the amount of juice to achieve your preferred thickness. For an elevated experience, consider adding a small sprig of fresh mint or a squeeze of lime juice before blending to brighten the flavors. Serve immediately to enjoy its refreshing chill and vibrant taste.
