Refreshing Green Cucumber, Avocado, and Lime Cooler
With Special Touch of Star Fruit (Carambola) for St. Patrick's Day
Posted By Savita
This delicious, vibrant and silky green drink challenges its own name and is packed with promise of health, healthy fats, freshness and taste. Perfect for a hot summer lunch, a cooling glass of avocado, cucumber, lime and star fruit smoothie will make day refreshing and specifically when its St. Partick's Day weekend, this drink will perfectly fit in.
Star fruit or Carambola was a nice taste addition to creamy avocado and cucumber melody. I choose these flavors to give you a nice and refreshing drink for St. Patrick's Day.
You can add some ice and sparking water to make it more appealing to kids.
Or
you can add some extra chopped cucumber and star fruit in it and then serve it chilled in mason jars as cucumber-avocado gazpacho.
Sounds good to me, what do you think?
