Yes—cucumber and banana blend well when you balance watery cucumber with ripe banana and a cold, thick base. You can blend cucumber and banana, and it can taste clean, lightly sweet, and refreshing.

Blending cranberry sauce is fine, and it turns a chunky sauce into a smooth, spreadable puree with a brighter look and a slightly sharper bite.
