Cucumber Kale Ginger Smoothie
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-around super green food, and ginger makes this smoothie easily digestible. I also added avocado to include healthy fats and to thicken the consistency.
