Step by step recipe of cucumber lemon juice recipe with pictures.
Think of fresh cucumber slices and you start feeling fresh already. I can’t think of anything so mild and refreshing as cucumber. It is interesting to know cucumber belongs to same family as pumpkin, watermelon, squash and zucchini. Cucumber is great for skin. While cucumber hydrates and cools body heat, it also provide essential mineral for good skin. It is rich in vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium , magnesium and folic acid. Packed with nourishing vitamins cucumber juice is a great way to start your day.
Benefits of drinking cucumber juice regularly are
- aids in managing diabetes
- helps prevents constipation
- helps lowers blood pressure
- reduces risk of kidney stones
- provides glowing fair skin complexion
Pairing cucumber juice with little honey and lemon juice gives you a great tasting drink that is full of Vitamin C. While fresh fruits are a bit pricey, this simple and inexpensive vegetable makes soothing drink to fill your mornings.
Alternatives
While I use hard juicer to juice cucumber, I also add other hard fruits and vegetables like carrots and apples in my daily juice both taste great. And best thing is both are sweet. So you can reduce or skip honey if adding any of these. But, as I always try to keep recipe simple with less ingredients,I’m not adding these in this cucumber lemon juice. But are recommended addition if available. Apart from these bottle gourd without skin can also be added but it’s quite tasteless.
Few other refreshing drinks to try are ginger lemon drink, Jaggery lemon drink.
