not my favorite
I really like all the fruit/vegetable ingredients - especially the idea of adding lime to cucumber and melon. But for me it was the soy milk that was just wrong for this smoothie. I used regular unflavored soy milk. I made it again today leaving out the soy milk and replaced it with cold green tea (simply made with a tea bag). That tasted way better than the soy milk version. I like that other reviewers enjoyed the soy milk version, but for me it spoiled the taste and I struggled to drink it.

This recipe sounded really refreshing but the cucumber really over powered the smoothie.

Smooth smoothie
Since cucumbers aren't my favorite veggie, I was a bit hesitant to try this. I did add slightly less of it and the recipe turned out great! I think that a few more grapes would make it sweeter but otherwise a good-tasting smoothie.

I used oat milk instead of soy and instead of ice cubes, next time I will use frozen grapes.
