Fennel, Cucumber, and Mint Elixir

This is juice-as-spa-tonic: The celery, cucumber, and fennel all contain great detoxification properties, and the lime, mint, and ginger feel like ladies-who-lunch touches that take you away for a minute, at any time in the day.

Serves 1

• 1 large English cucumber
• 1 medium head fennel, stalks trimmed and discarded (7 ounces after trimming)
• 2 large celery stalks
• 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint
• ½ lime
• 2 frozen wheatgrass cubes (see box)

Juice all of the ingredients except the lime and the wheatgrass cubes. Pour into a tall glass, squeeze the lime juice into the glass, and add the wheatgrass cubes. Serve immediately.
