cucumber.lemon.hydrator


I mentioned this in my previous post. It is an absolute favorite of mine and so quick and easy. This is a natural and refreshing alternative to sugary energy drinks or electrolyte products. Lemons are full of electrolytes and adding the sea salt will replace minerals lost.


2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
2 lemons, peeled
1 Tbsp agave nectar or liquid honey
1/4 tsp sea salt
4 cups filtered water

Blend in two batches until smooth, pour through a fine strainer or place cheese cloth over a container and secure with a band then pour into container.

My second version of this is to add a couple handfuls of fresh or frozen spinach to the blender before straining.
