A Cucumber and Sorrel Smoothie is made by blending washed cucumber and sorrel leaves with water until smooth. Add ripe pear or apple for a sweeter taste, or a little lemon if you want the drink more tart.
A Cucumber and Sorrel Smoothie tastes fresh and vegetal, with a noticeable tang from the sorrel. If the sharpness is too strong, blend in more cucumber or a sweet fruit such as pear.
Yes, sorrel is commonly used raw in a Cucumber and Sorrel Smoothie. Rinse the leaves thoroughly under running water and remove any tough stems before blending for a smoother texture.
No, peeling the cucumber is optional for a Cucumber and Sorrel Smoothie. Wash it well if keeping the skin on; peeled cucumber makes a milder drink, while unpeeled cucumber gives it a greener color and more pronounced vegetable flavor.
Add ripe pear or banana to make a Cucumber and Sorrel Smoothie less sour. More cucumber and a splash of water can also soften the sorrel’s sharp flavor; avoid adding lemon or other tart ingredients.
A Cucumber and Sorrel Smoothie is best fresh, since its color and flavor can change as it sits. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and drink them the same day; shake or stir before serving.
Yes, yogurt works in a Cucumber and Sorrel Smoothie and makes it thicker and creamier. It also mellows the sorrel’s tang; blend thoroughly and add a little water if the finished drink is too thick.
There is no exact substitute for sorrel in a Cucumber and Sorrel Smoothie. A small squeeze of lemon with fresh mint gives a bright, refreshing flavor, though it will not have sorrel’s leafy, tangy character.
A blender is the better choice for a Cucumber and Sorrel Smoothie. It blends the ingredients and their pulp into a thicker drink, whereas a juicer separates out much of the pulp and produces juice instead.
A homemade Cucumber and Sorrel Smoothie lets you control the ingredients and sweetness, and is minimally processed. Bottled versions can differ in added ingredients and flavor, so they may not taste like a freshly blended drink.

Cucumber and Sorrel Smoothie blends mild, refreshing cucumber with the tangy leaves of sorrel. It is a simple green drink rather than a dish tied to one particular regional tradition; the name describes its two defining ingredients.
Serve it chilled as a light breakfast drink, an afternoon refreshment or alongside a simple lunch. Cucumber keeps the flavour fresh and gentle, while sorrel brings a lively, lemony sharpness. At 17 calories per 100 g, it is a low-calorie choice with a little fibre and is suitable for vegan diets. Drink it soon after blending to enjoy its fresh flavour.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
