Ingredients Highlights
Cucumbers help keep you hydrated, flush out toxins, and provide many health-boosting vitamins and minerals. Cucumbers also help protect the body against constipation and kidney stones and help control blood pressure.
Lemon is high in vitamin C, which is required for countless bodily functions including skin, immune system, and cardiovascular health.
Parsley has one surprising benefit most have never heard. Parsley can actually help cleanse your system.
Strawberries contain ellagic acid and a number of polyphenols that help to rid the body of carcinogenic substances and inhibit the growth of cancer.
Tahini is made by grinding up sesame seeds. Similar to nut butters, it is a calorically dense food that is rich in minerals. You can easily make tahini at home by grinding sesame seeds in a food processor or high-speed blender until they turn into a smooth and creamy paste.
