CUCUMBER MINT SMOOTHIE
You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped 3 tablespoons mint leaves & mint sprigs finely chopped 1 1/2 cups apple juice or still cider 1 cup lemon sorbet 1 cup ice cubes
Place the cucumber, mint, apple juice or cider, sorbet and ice in a blender, and blend until smooth.
Garnish with mint, and serve.
Easy Way to Increase Your Consumption of Both Fiber and Water Adding a crunchy cool cucumber to your salads is a good way to increase your fiber intake because cucumber comes naturally prepackaged with the extra fluid you need while consuming more fiber, plus, you get the added bonus of vitamin C, silica, potassium and magnesium.
