Cucumber, Carrot and Tomato Smoothie- A Diabetic Smoothie

                       It is the last day of my week and the weekend is about to start. Friday is the most expected day for almost all, either working, homemakers and kids too. Almost all my fruits are done, waiting for the weekend to purchase fruits and veggies. But still I want my last week day to be hydrated and would like to give a healthy kick start. Remembering the recipe, given by one of my friend, started making Cucumber, Carrot and Tomato Smoothie. 

              

                     In our homes, we will always have of tomato and carrots available. There is a popular saying that "Tomato is an apple for the poor" and fortunately, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".  Even though the tomato are not priced high, they have a lot of health supplements in them. It is a superfood for diabetes, are packed with vitamin C and are good sources of vitamin A, potassium, and fiber. The nutrient lycopene, which gives red tomatoes their color, is a powerful antioxidant. 

                    Cucumber also falls under the superfood for diabetes, also with good source of vitamin K, vitamin C and potassium.
