cool, refreshing kiwi and cucumber makes any summer party a little more special. This
refreshing cooler can be prepared up to a day in advance. This drink is incredibly refreshing and cooling and perfect
for picnics, cookouts and hot days at the beach. So, in the spirit of summer,
hot weather and all things cool and refreshing, I’m sharing this
thirst-quenching Kiwi Cucumber cooler recipe to cool down the hot summer.
Beautiful, fresh and cooling kiwi
Fruit & Cucumber Juice is loaded with Vitamin C and a good helping of
zinc among many other goodies. Cucumber is just amazing
for cooling us down from the inside out, and to add to that - being
an amazing cleanser, it is just wonderful for our hair, skin and nails. Cucumber is
one of the most alkalizing and hydrating foods we can
have, whether we eat or add to our raw food green juice.Kiwi
fruit is loaded nutrients too high in calcium, magnesium, potassium,
sodium, vitamin C, beta carotene... and an awesome antioxidant.
