Those “Blueberry Pie Bombs” look delicious! Since I know you’re looking for full recipes to keep things simple for your family, I’ve put together the complete instructions for that cucumber and lime detox drink you shared.
It is important to note that while this drink is hydrating and full of vitamin C, there is no medical evidence that a single drink can “eliminate” fatty liver or urinary infections on its own. It’s a great addition to a healthy lifestyle, but please check with a doctor for those specific conditions!
Cucumber & Lime Refreshment Drink
Prep time: 5 mins | Yields: 1 large glass
Ingredients
-
1 large Cucumber (washed and sliced)
-
2-3 small Limes (or 1 large lemon)
-
2 cups Cold water
-
Optional: A handful of fresh mint leaves
-
Optional: 1 tsp honey or agave for sweetness
Instructions
-
Prepare the Produce: Wash the cucumber and limes thoroughly. You can leave the skin on the cucumber for extra nutrients or peel it if you prefer a smoother texture.
-
Blend: Place the cucumber slices and the juice of the limes into a high-speed blender.
-
Liquify: Add the water (and mint or sweetener if using). Blend on high until the mixture is completely liquid and bright green.
-
Strain (Optional): If you prefer a clear juice, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a glass. If you don’t mind the pulp, keep it for the extra fiber!
-
Serve: Pour over ice and enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor.
Why This Combination?
-
Cucumber: Extremely high in water content (about 95%), making it excellent for hydration and reducing bloating.
-
Lime/Lemon: Rich in citric acid and vitamin C, which can help support digestion and give the immune system a little boost.
