Historically, many cultures have been crafting smoothies for centuries, but the United States didn’t hop on the wagon until health food stores on the West Coast began churning them out with the onset of the commercial blender in the 1930s. Trader Joe’s has carried a number of smoothies and cold-pressed juices over the years (they are a SoCal based grocery store, after all), but nothing quite like this before…

Each 12 fluid-ounce bottle of Trader Joe’s Cold Pressed Cucumber Avocado Smoothie contains an utterly refreshing, slightly tart, and impressively smooth blend of one cucumber (to establish a base flavor), one half of an avocado (to put the “smooth” in “smoothie”), one half of a small mango, 1  cups of spinach, and the juice of one lime, four acerola cherries & three slices of ginger root. Instead of being traditionally (heat) pasteurized, the Smoothie goes through a cold, water-pressure method called High Pressure Processing (HPP), which guarantees a Smoothie that’s safe to drink, without reducing its nutritional benefits or fresh, cucumber-forward flavor. And speaking of nutritional benefits, our Cucumber Avocado Smoothie boasts 4g of fiber, 4g of protein, and 280% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C per bottle! Take that, trendy smoothie shop.
