Cucumber Cooler
Juicing is all the rage, it’s a quick way to get the nutrients from fruits and vegetables without eating a big meal. This cucumber cooler is refreshingly tasty thanks to the cucumbers and the addition of sweet carrots. Carrot juice is our absolute favorite, we are lucky to have access to locally grown organic carrots.
Ingredients
- Half a large cucumber, halved lengthways
- 3 carrots, peeled
- 3 celery stalks, tops trimmed off
- Optional, 1 apple
Directions
- Wash and prepare vegetables. Juice according to your juicer instructions and enjoy!
Tip: Vegetable juices are great for overall health, choose organic or fresh locally grown if possible. At first it takes a little time to get used to the taste, but eventually you’ll get there…. Just think of all those health benefits! Another tip is to juice an apple along with your veggies or mix your vegetable juice with a little natural apple juice to give it a sweeter taste.
