NUTRITION FACTS

CUCUMBER – You will get about 4 percent of your daily potassium, 3 percent of your daily fiber and 4 percent of your daily vitamin C. They also “provide small amounts of vitamin K, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, manganese and vitamin A,” Ware said. source: http://www.livescience.com

SPINACH is also an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C and folate as well as being a good source of manganese, magnesium, iron and vitamin B2. Vitamin K is important for maintaining bone health and it is difficult to find vegetables richer in vitamin K than spinach. Accdg to http://www.bbcgoodfood.com

This is my own home-made recipe which I just mix and tried. A faith healer suggested making a shake out of Spinach, camote tops and other green leafy vegetable (all raw) but I opted for cucumber to be added which has an authentic refreshing taste. Oooppps, Cucumber is also diuretic, so it’s best to drink the shake when you needed to be hydrated.
