This bright cucumber-citrus smoothie brings together ingredients naturally rich in antioxidants and plant compounds studied for their role in supporting the body’s response to everyday oxidative stress. Fresh oranges and lime provide vitamin C along with citrus flavonoids such as hesperidin and eriocitrin—compounds associated with antioxidant activity and vascular support. Fresh ginger contributes gingerols, bioactive compounds studied for their role in supporting a healthy inflammatory response and aiding digestion. Parsley offers apigenin and other flavonoids with antioxidant properties that help protect cells from oxidative stress, while crisp cucumber adds refreshing hydration along with small amounts of naturally occurring plant antioxidants. Crisp, citrusy, and invigorating, it’s an easy, delicious way to boost hydration and nourish your body with antioxidant-rich ingredients that support overall inflammatory balance.
