Cucumber-Lime In-The-Summertime Juice

Why We Love This Recipe

This is a very cooling, easy-to-make refreshing summertime drink! You'll need a juicer. While ayurveda recommends cooking most vegetables, some — especially juicy vegetables, such as cucumber and lettuces — can be refreshing for lunch in the summer. But avoid them at night and in winter. They can aggravate Vata.
