RECIPE: green cleansing detox juice
With summer making a first appearance this week, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to get into bikini-shape (or as close as possible …) to fully enjoy this beautiful weather! Even though I have a fairly healthy diet and eat lots of veggies, a little extra green certainly won’t hurt. As much as I’d love to own a juicer, it simply isn’t an option right now as our kitchen literally has no space left. But I figured why not try the whole green juice thing in a blender? The outcome was yummy, refreshing, hydrating and super healthy – plenty of good reasons to share with you, right?
What you’ll need:
– 1/2 cucumber
– sliced ginger
– juice of 1 lime
– 1 tsp. honey
– 200ml cold water
– ice cubes
Start by peeling your cucumber and ginger. Then squeeze the lime juice, cut the cucumber into chunks and slice the peeled ginger. In your blender, combine all ingredients and blend until juice/smoothie consistency. Enjoy on a hot summer day!

Uhoh think I’ll need to get drinking some of the green stuff now that summer is on the way. Thanks for the recipe, looks like you’ve managed to create a tasty one! x

OK, I know it’s a bout a detox, but I want that gold straw! :p

Liebe Vicky,
eigentlich habe ich auf Amazon goldene Strohhalme gefunden! Die sind aus Kunststoff leider (und nicht aus Papier), und ich weiß nicht, wie die Qualität ist, die sind aber nicht teuer, vielleicht lohnt es sich, einen Versuch zu machen!
Liebe Grüße!
Ah, der Link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Papstar-Straws-Shake-Gold-25Cm/dp/B00EU8FDM8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400859815&sr=8-1&keywords=Papstar+Straws%2C+Shake+Gold
Okay, I will definetly try this out right now. Except for the lime, which I will change to lemon, I have everything at home! Oh happy morning.
And can I ask where you got the straw? Its beautiful!

Hi Ronja,
unfortunately it is not a straw, but part of our cuttlery – a spoon! I found our flatware via ZaraHome.

Sehr lecker! Auch mir gefällt der goldene Strohhalm, liebe Vicky, kannst du uns sagen, wo du ihn gekauft hast?
Hi Piffeny,
das ist leider kein Strohhalm sondern der Stiel eines Löffels 🙂 Das Besteck ist von ZaraHome.

Der Saft / Smoothie klingt super erfrischend. Perfekt für einen heißen Tag wie heute….den gibts gleich nachher noch bei mir 🙂
This sounds amazing… I have to give it a try. 🙂
