Ingredients
- 3½ cups cucumber juice, from 4 to 6 cucumbers
- ⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ bunch fresh watercress
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons organic, unfiltered olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Celtic sea salt
- Using a juicer, juice the cucumbers.
- In a high-speed blender, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
Traditionally, soup is served at lunch or dinner but we recommend that you eat it for breakfast, too. Soup has a high water content and is alkaline-forming, and it’s ideal in the morning when your body is dehydrated.
