Irene submitted her Orange-Cucumber Smoothie, she says, “It may sound strange but it is as tasty as it is good for you.” Well, in the world of green smoothies where we blend our greens with fruit and sometimes all by themselves, oranges and cucumbers are not so strange after all.

Irene says to hand juice 6 or more oranges, are they not gorgeous, look at the color, look at the shape, look at the pattern. So I did that.

Then she says to cut up 1 or 2 cucumbers. I peeled one and cut it up. It’s not an organic cucumber, so I peeled it. Then add the cucumbers to the VitaMix first. It’s about 2 cups of cut up cucumber. I used one average size cucumber.

From the 7 oranges I juiced, I got approx. a pint of fresh squeezed orange juice. Mmm, squeezing orange juice is alot of fun, I don’t mind doing it, it’s worth the little bit of effort it takes and is actually a rather zen and calming activity.

Here we go, mmm, the aroma. It’s the aroma, the colors, the high water content that is so exciting and attractive about blending up fresh fruits and greens. Okay, Irene, let’s blend.

I  can smell the freshness of the cucumber. For some reason, I thought this might call for something like a Margarita glass, something celebratory. Irene, the color is gorgeous. Is that not beautiful? My cells are singing!
