Why This Simple Blend Works
This isn’t about fads or trends. It’s about real food with real benefits:
- 🥬 Spinach: A leafy legend packed with lutein and zeaxanthin—two antioxidants essential for eye health. Also rich in iron, fiber, and anti-inflammatory compounds.
- 🍋 Lemon: A gentle detoxifier that supports liver function and helps your body flush out toxins. Plus, that zesty vitamin C boost!
- 🥒 Cucumber: Ultra-hydrating, soothing for your digestive tract, and wonderfully refreshing.
It’s a trio your body will thank you for—especially first thing in the morning.

- A knife and cutting board
- A citrus juicer (optional)
