Hello Hivers and vegan friends 🥰💕

Today I remembered this very recipe of a cucumber meal I once enjoyed in an aunt’s place last summer because she loves to eat keto vegetable meals. It was a delight that I kept it in my mind hoping to make it some day.

And this afternoon as I looked into the fridge for inspiration to make a light lunch, and with lots of cucumber 🥒 pile, I quickly decided to make a stuffed cucumber boats 🛶 for lunch with just a few other simple ingredients from the fridge that made this tasty low carb meal 🥘.

This very simple and easy stuffed cucumber boats 🥒 are the perfect meal for a hot day. They are gluten free and vegetarian 🌱, and can easily be made vegan 🌱 They are crunchy, light and a quality meal for lunch.

You probably already know how refreshing cucumbers can be, but they provide a lot more than just a hydrating crunch. An  8-inch cucumber 🥒 with its peel provides over 40% of the daily value of vitamin K, a nutrient that’s vital for blood clotting and bone  🦴 health . Cucumber also contain antioxidants, are rich in fiber, have a high water content, and are low in calories.
