Since it is also cleansing, cooling, and mildly diuretic, lettuce makes this low-carb juice an ideal tonic for the digestive system, eyes, and skin.
Serves 1-2
- 3 unpeeled carrots;
- Unless organic, remove top and bottom
- 1 small bunch of chives
- 1 small bunch of coriander
- 1 (smallish) cos lettuce
Wash all the ingredients well and put them through a juicer, reserving a few of the chives. Mix the juice well.
Snip the reserved chives with scissors and scatter on top of the juice to serve.
Vital statistics and low carb low-down
The calorie-conscious know that lettuce is ninety-five per cent water and has hardly any calories, yet its nutritional value is enough to surprise anyone. Nearly starch-free and with just a little natural sugar from the carrots, this moderately low-carb drink is super-rich in vitamin A and carotenoids and a rich source of potassium and folic acid. It also contains useful amounts of vitamin C, B vitamins, iron, and iodine. The antiseptic and antifungal sulphur compounds in the chives, the diuretic and calming oils in lettuce, and the unique digestion- promoting constituents of coriander make it a highly potent cleansing mixture.
