  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • sea salt
  • 2 cups chopped peeled cucumber, plus extra for serving, shaved
  • 1 cup chopped peeled celery, plus extra for serving, shaved
  • 1 cup organic yoghurt
  • 1 handful fresh mint, plus extra for serving

Dip the rims of glasses in lemon juice and salt.
Blend the chopped cucumber, chopped celery, yoghurt, mint, ice cubes and salt, to taste, until frothy.
