Cucumber Mint Mango

 I have a good resource of materials of some of the best quality food right in my back yard. My garden is producing, and I want to find a way to use some of the garden produce in smoothies.  I am sure I will have some that fail, but today's smoothie was a success. Right now I have many Long English Cucumbers hanging on the vine. I wanted to make a smoothie using these, partially to find another way to use them! Very refreshing smoothie! Modifications for next time would be to add more mango.

Cucumber Mint Mango
1 banana
1/2 long English cucumber, peeled
2 sprigs of mint, just the leaves
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup honey Greek yogurt
 1 T ground flax seed
1T wheat germ
2T raw quick oatmeal
Soy milk- enough to make 4 cups of smoothie
