Raw Cucumber seeds yogurt soup
About:
This recipe is from my friend Nilima Rao, who is upcoming singer. Thank you dear for such a lovely and refreshing recipe just modified it to make a soup recipe using regular cucumber.
This is perfect for summer with a cool, refreshing and soothing soup with combination of yogurt, mint and ginger.
Health benefits:
Cucumber seeds are slightly diuretic, which helps promote urine flow and stimulates the kidneys to flush wastes and fatty deposits from the body. Diuretics can act to dehydrate the body, but cucumbers’ high moisture content makes this of no concern.
Cucumber seeds are also used holistically to treat tapeworm infestations and are reputed to have a regenerative effect on the skin.
So enjoy this soothing soup with bread
Yields: 2-3 servings
Preparation time: 15 minutes

These easy-peasy granola bars make the perfect for breakfast or snack time munchies. Just adding bit of butter and honey packed with crunchy nuts and crispy flakes.
When it comes to nutrition and weight loss, many people will tell you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is true that what you eat for breakfast will at the very least set a habitual or psychological tone for your day. Eating a healthy, low calorie breakfast can help you stay the course through the next two meals.
These bars contain moderate amounts of both, helping you fuel up for the morning without overloading on either nutrient. Both sugar and fat also add to the flavour of the bars, helping you get a quick fix of sweet taste to stave off cravings for the rest of the day.
