Feeling hot and steamy? or in the mood for Summer foods? ☀️🔥😅

Try this instant-cooling & thirst-quenching salad made with 3 of my favorite therapeutic Summer foods:

🥒Cucumber: provides a cooling effect to the body; it’s moisturizing & replenishes electrolytes; helps you break down protein and clean intestines from toxins

🌱Mint: has a cooling after-effect; it reduces gas and inflammation in the digestive tract and clears all forms of stagnation in the blood, lymph and lungs

🌿Parsley: it allows for water excretion (reduces water retention) without the loss of electrolytes!

Note: Raw veggies are hard to digest so favor this recipe for lunch rather than dinner (our digestion is at its strongest mid-day!) and check in with how you’re feeling before making it.
