I hate the thought of wasting food, so when I realized this cucumber was on its way out I decided to make it a part of this afternoons green smoothie. That and, still retaining a bit of water due to PMS, there’s nothing like a little cucumber to cleanse your system, helping to flush out toxins + excess water you may be holding on to. And…I just love cucumber. :)
I used half of a large cucumber & will toss the the rest into a salad later today.
