We’re all in on celebrating the arrival of Apeel + Houweling’s plastic-free Long English Cucumbers in select stores. And not just because we can all eat cucumbers without the waste of single-use plastic wrap that hurts the planet. It’s also because, well, cucumbers are delicious and we’ll take any excuse to enjoy them. (But that’s pretty obvious, right?)Something that’s not so obvious? A smoothie that pairs cucumbers and watermelon for a refreshing treat. Pick up some Apeel Cucumbers, and mix ‘em into an easy, delicious, celebratory concoction.
Here’s the easy recipe:
Apeel Long English Cucumber Watermelon Smoothie
