The Cucumber and Lime Morning Detox drink is a great way to start your week after a long weekend of socializing, too many activities and adult beverages.

The Cucumber, Lime and Pine Pollen Detox is also a cool and refreshing drink to mix up on a hot day when you are looking for a nutritious substitute for boring old water.
Why the Cucumber Detox?
Cucumbers are one of the most underrated superfoods and have many health benefits. Primarily made up of water and vitamins, they are the perfect low calorie ingredient for a light detox drink. Plus, they taste great.
Cucumbers are high in vitamin B, rich in potassium and magnesium (which may help to lower blood pressure), and also contain a powerful anti-inflammatory flavonon called "fisetin."

- Add 1 teaspoon of RAW Pine Pollen Powder
