]]> If you are interested in diversifying your menu and adding healthy alternatives, you should add lots of refreshing and healthy greens to your diet. 

Green leaves are considered a superfood, because they contain a high concentration of important nutrients, and they are simply yummy.

Some recommended greens are green leaves (and lots of them)—herbs, broccoli, kale, zucchini, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, celery, sprouts, artichokes, zucchini, asparagus, apples, kiwis, seaweed, and wheatgrass.

You can enjoy greens in salads, stews or a healthy green smoothie.

A smoothie is the most recommended option, since in its preparation the blender separates the green ingredients and grinds them, so it is easier for the digestive system to digest and absorb the various ingredients than when chewing fruit or vegetables whole. The blender also preserves the dietary fiber, enzymes, vitamins and minerals found in vegetables and fruits.

Green leaves strengthen you and keep you healthy and encourage the activity of the immune system and are rich in vitamins such as folic acid, vitamin C and K. These vitamins strengthen the immune system and act as antioxidants and protect the cells.

Green leaves are known in many studies as disease preventers and are a great addition to any meal.

]]> Cucumbers are incredibly healthy, they are great for hydration, full of fiber and antioxidants, and are very low on calories. Here are some cool recipes that cucumbers give a kick to.

Cucumber Granita

A fantastic summer treat. Make a syrup with some lime, water, salt, and sugar, add some mint and cucumber and run the whole thing in the blender until it’s smooth. Make sure it’s cooled down before putting in the freezer for at least 3 hours, scraping with a fork every 30 minutes.

Braised Cucumber

Barely processing the cucumber or changing its regular use, this recipe is a wonderful way to enjoy this vegetable as part of a hot dinner. Simply cut the cucumber to thick strips and leave to drain with some salt for about an hour, then toss in a pan with olive oil until they start browning. Season with lemon juice and mint and you’re all done.

Cucumber Dumplings

Start this idea with pickled rather than fresh cucumbers. Prepare a batter from flour, baking powder, and sparkling water. Coat slices of pickles in the batter and deep fry until golden. Make sure to soak up all the oil and grease before serving with your favorite dip.

]]> Two of the most popular and healthy vegetables you can find are cucumber and zucchini. They are great for your daily green intake, either raw or cooked. The one thing that sometimes comes up as a problem when trying to work with both of these veggies is their watery seed core.

This core can make a cucumber sandwich soggy, and a vegetable stew into a slimy mess. But there’s a little secret for treating them that takes control of this wetness.

You’re going to need a large enough tray or board, a sharp knife, salt, and some kitchen towels. Make sure to do this well in advance, since this can take about an hour and a half, and some people go as far as preparing the evening before.

  • Slice your vegetable to even slices, either round or long shapes, it doesn’t matter.
  • Spread them in the large tray and sprinkle some salt on each layer.
  • Put another tray, cutting board, or plates, on top of the layers, and leave for anything from an hour to overnight in the fridge.

The result will lead to the water being separated from the crispy vegetable, so you can just pour it out and use the fresh cucumber or zucchini in your dish.
