Calcium-Rich Cucumber Juice
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
This juice is simple and combines my favourite properties in a juice — sweet, zesty, light and refreshing. Cucumber and celery are both very versatile when juicing as they can be combined with many juice ingredients and they add a light taste while offering plenty of juice. This juice is very hydrating with 650 mg of potassium per serve plus 110 mg of calcium and loads of vitamins K and C. Enjoy!
