Cue the Cucumbers!

Written by

Cucumbers are my jam. It is easy for me to say that not a day goes by that I don't eat a cuke slice or two. They are a huge part of my new diet. They are delicious and quite nutritious. You can have a cup of cucumbers and consume zero calories and just 2 carbs. To me that is nothing. Nothing! There's no sugar, no fat, almost zero sodium, so I eat all the cucumbers with ZERO guilt.

They are good for hydration because they are full of water. Apparently they are good for your bone health because they are full of vitamin K. They help with heart health, digestion and oh yeah- weight loss!

Now, I know what you are thinking- just cucumbers. Hmmmm. They are liveable alone, but cukes are the most dippable rounds around! Veggie dip yes, but with my new low carb lifestyle you can use them with salsa, queso, guacamole, hummus, anything and again-guilt free.

You will always find cucumbers in my fridge and they are my go to side.
