Great for fiber, water, and low carbs. In addition, cucumbers are negative calories (use more calories eating than you gain from the cucumber). Cucumbers don’t have huge amounts of any one vitamin but they do contain nearly all vitamins and minerals (A, C, K, B6, thiamin, calcium, iron, manganese, selenium, zinc and potassium) except salt so it’s a nice bonus supplement to your normal vitamin intake. Apples add additional fiber and vitamin c.

1/2 a small cucumber
1/2 small cup of tomato juice
1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
2 drops of Tabasco sauce
4 ice cubes

Roughly chop the cucumber then add it to your blender with the remaining ingredients. Blend until all ice is crushed.
