Cucumber and coconut smoothie
Print this holiday recipe!
Where we acquired the habit of serving punch for the noche buena, I have no idea. Probably the American influence. Punch is great, I won’t argue about that but punch for noche buena is just a bit too predictable. Here’s something surprisingly different.
To make four glasses of cucumber and coconut smoothie, you will need a large cucumber, one coconut with tender meat (mala-kanin, the same kind used for making buko salad), coconut water, a little sugar and some ice.
Peel the cucumber and scrape off the seeds with a spoon. Dice.
Scrape the coconut meat from the husk.
Place the cucumber and coconut meat in the blender. Add a tablespoonful or two of sugar. Pour in the coconut water and add some ice. Pulse the blender several times to process the coconut meat and cucumber. You can run the blender on the highest speed but that will puree everything. Personally, I like the sensation of the tiniest bits of coconut on my tongue. Your choice, really. Ultra smooth or somewhat grainy, the combination of cucumber and coconut is amazingly good!
