Prepare Your Ingredients:
Peel the banana and chop it into chunks. Slice the cucumber into smaller pieces for easier blending. If you’re using lettuce or other leafy greens, wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides.

Taste and Adjust:
After blending, taste your smoothie. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, feel free to add a small amount of honey, maple syrup, or a splash more banana. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more water or almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
