Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make kefir with cucumber and herbs for weight loss? Prepare the products. Take low-fat kefir, since we are talking about a diet drink. Choose a natural and high-quality product from a trusted manufacturer, the drink should bring only benefit and pleasure. The most delicious cucumbers are young, with pimples, look for such. In the absence, you can take the usual ones. Whether or not to put salt and pepper is a matter of taste, they did not seem superfluous to me.
Step 2:
Take your favorite greens, wash them well and be sure to dry them, wet greens quickly lose their shape and become tasteless. I chose dill, but parsley, cilantro, basil, celery, lovage will also do. You can take the greens solo or a mix of different ones. Cut off the twigs of greenery from too coarse stems — they will interfere with drinking. Chop it finely. Do not throw away the stems — they can be frozen and used when cooking broth or sauces.
Step 3:
Wash and dry the cucumber. Cut off the tips and remove the skin. It is very convenient to do this with a vegetable peeler. I advise you to cut off the peel even from young fruits — the drink will turn out more tender. Be sure to try the cucumber, whether it is bitter. Bitter fruit will spoil the dish.
Step 4:
Grate the cucumber on a fine grater. Not the one that rubs right into the puree, but the one that makes thin strips. Still, do not choose a large one - it will be inconvenient to drink. Do not drain the released juice, it is delicious and healthy.
Step 5:
Take a large bowl, pour kefir into it. It will be more convenient to stir it this way. Add grated cucumber and chopped greens to it. If desired, add salt and pepper to the kefir. I poured literally a pinch. Mix the kefir well with the other ingredients.
Step 6:
Pour the drink into glasses, decorate with slices of fresh cucumber and sprigs of greenery. Serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
A drink made of kefir, cucumber and greens has a laxative effect, due to which the stool is normalized and toxins are removed from the intestine. Do not drink it in the morning and evening, replace one meal with a drink, and the rest of the time eat regular food. It is better if it is also useful and dietary. You will not be able to eat fats and carbohydrates and try to lose weight at the expense of kefir. Be careful if you have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, consult a specialist.
Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
