Tips & Tricks
Health and nutrition benefits
Cucumbers are an excellent source of potassium, an electrolyte that we need to get more of in our diets for hydration and a healthy blood pressure. Celery adds vitamin A, K, and folate to this drink while kale is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and powerful antioxidants. Apple cider vinegar has the potential to help fight obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.
Don’t have a juicer?
If you don’t own a juicer, make this refreshing drink with a blender. Simply blend all ingredients on high speed until well-blended. Strain mixture through a cheese cloth and squeeze out the juice. Add the water later to the squeezed juice.
