What ingredients do you need?

133 g (1 cup) chopped cucumber, with the peel
154 g (1 cup) sliced peach, with the pit removed and peel left on
120 ml (1/2 cup) water

Choose a ripe peach for the fullest flavor. The cucumber provides a fresh taste without overpowering the fruit. Leaving the peels on is convenient and matches the ingredients used for the nutrition estimate below.

Measure the peach after removing its pit. If you have a kitchen scale, weighing the prepared fruit and cucumber makes the recipe easier to reproduce; cup measurements can vary with the size of the pieces.

A soft, ripe peach will blend more easily than a firm one. If the cucumber has a thick peel and you prefer a smoother texture, you can peel it, though that will change the nutrition estimate.

How do you make a cucumber peach smoothie?

Wash the cucumber and peach under running water, rubbing their surfaces gently before cutting.
Chop the cucumber and remove the peach pit. Slice the peach into pieces that your blender can handle.
Add the water, cucumber and peach to the blender. Secure the lid and blend until the mixture is as smooth as you like.
Divide the smoothie between 2 glasses and serve.

For a thinner drink, blend in a little more water. For a thicker texture, start with less water and add the rest gradually. A regular blender may leave small pieces of peel; chop the produce smaller or blend a little longer if you prefer a smoother result.

If the ingredients aren't moving freely in the blender, stop it and scrape down the sides before blending again. A little extra water can also help the blades move the mixture. Taste the finished smoothie before serving; its sweetness will depend on the peach.

Drink the smoothie soon after blending for the freshest taste. Refrigerate any leftovers promptly in a covered container and drink within 24 hours. Shake or stir before serving, as the blended ingredients may separate.

How does it support the body's detox processes?

The cucumber peach smoothie supplies fluid and retains fiber because the produce is blended rather than strained. Hydration supports normal body functions, but the liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification, with help from the lungs and gut; this smoothie has not been shown to remove toxins.

What swaps and variations can you try?

Use frozen peach

Replace the fresh peach with the same weight of frozen peach, preferably with no added sugar. Blend until smooth; the result will be colder and thicker. Add a little water if the blender needs help moving the fruit.

Peel the cucumber

For a milder flavor and a smoother-looking drink, peel the cucumber before weighing and chopping it. Keep in mind that changing or removing ingredients changes the nutrition estimate.

Adjust the texture

Use less water for a thicker blend or more water for a thinner smoothie. Keep the blended produce in the glass rather than straining it if you want to retain the fiber included in the estimate.

What is the nutrition per serving?

The following estimates are for half the recipe, using 133 g of raw cucumber with peel, 154 g of raw yellow peach and 120 ml of water in the full batch. Values are calculated from USDA ingredient data and rounded; actual values vary with the produce and serving size.

Carbohydrates	9.8 g
Fiber	1.5 g
Total sugars	7.6 g

The sugars in the basic recipe occur naturally in the peach and cucumber. The smoothie is low in protein, so consider that if you are planning it as part of a larger meal. Adding other ingredients will change the per-serving figures.
