  • 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

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.
