Ingredients Needed
- 1 large cucumber
- 2 green apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- 1-2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Step-by-Step Preparation
Start by washing the cucumber and green apples thoroughly. Peel the cucumber if you prefer a milder taste, but keeping the skin adds extra nutrients. Core the apples and cut all ingredients into smaller pieces suitable for your blender.
Place the cucumber and apples into a blender. Add lemon juice and honey or agave if you want a sweeter, tangier flavor. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water or ice cubes and blend again.
Pour the juice through a fine strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher to remove pulp if you prefer a smoother drink. Serve immediately over ice for a refreshing experience.
Tips for the Best Juice
- Use fresh, ripe apples and cucumbers for the best flavor.
- Adjust sweetness with honey or agave based on your taste.
- Chill the ingredients beforehand for an even more refreshing drink.
- Experiment with adding mint leaves or a splash of lime for extra flavor.
