Substitute any of the following for the watercress:

I find that it is particularly good with a stick of celery and a couple of cabbage leaves.

Chef's notes

Drink immediately for best nutritional benefits, or keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a clean glass bottle/jar with a lid or stopper. If using Sweet Freedom, I find that 15g is enough.
