Cooling Cucumber-Mint Smoothie for Oral Health
Fresh, hydrating, and soothing—with ingredients that calm inflammation, strengthen enamel, and freshen breath.
Why It’s Good for Oral Health:
Cucumber: High in water content to support hydration and flush away food particles; contains silica for healthy gums.
Mint: Naturally antimicrobial, it helps freshen breath and reduce inflammation.
Lime: A vitamin C boost that supports gum tissue health and adds a refreshing zing.
Greek Yogurt (unsweetened): Rich in calcium and probiotics for strong teeth and a healthy oral microbiome.
Avocado: Full of healthy fats and vitamin E, it soothes oral tissues and supports cellular healing.
Raw Honey (optional): Contains antibacterial properties, but use sparingly for oral health.
Ice + Coconut Water: Cooling and hydrating with added electrolytes for energy and saliva stimulation.
