Meatless Monday – Cucumber Agua Fresca
Cucumber Agua Frrrresca!
(Say it with a roll on the “R”)
The amazing 3 ingredients creation is here! This is such a quick, delicious and family pleasing recipe.. I’m sure it’s going to stay in your home for years to come. Next time you plan on having guests over whip up a pitcher of this gorgeous ‘juice of the gods’ and watch everyone Ooh and Ahh over the unbeatable flavor!
Fun Fact: Did you know that botanically speaking cucumbers are referred to as a flower, and are therefore classified as “accessory fruit.” Also, seeing as cucumbers are great for puffy eyes and skin, imagine what they can do when you drink them.. Cucumber Agua Fresca is an amazing cleanser for your entire body!
Talk about being fabulous in the kitchen and expressing your Chicfire!
And now, Ladies and Gentleman.. The moment you’ve all been waiting for:
Ingredients
1 whole cucumber (if you plan to keep the skin on I prefer you make it organic)
2 cups of ice
1 glass of water
2 Stevia packets
Instructions
1. Slice cucumber in half (skinning it if it is not organic)
2. Add ice, cucumber, water, and Stevia packets to blender or Vitamix and blend until liquefied.
3. Serve and enjoy your glass of beauty juice!
*If you keep your organic cucumber skins on, then you will need a strainer before pouring yourself a glass.
