Cucumber Juice Recipe
| Prep Time | 5 min |
| Total Time | 5 min |
| Protein | 2g |
Ingredients:
- 2 cucumbers (I used English cucumbers but you can use any type; see notes for peeling instructions)
- 2 green apples
- 1 lemon, peeled
- 1 one-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
- 4 mint leaves (optional, for added flavor)
- 1 cup water, if using a blender to make the juice (you don’t need the water if you are using a juicer)
Instructions:
- Cut the cucumber and apples into large pieces that will fit through the feeding tube of a juicer. If you will be using a blender to make your juice, then cut your produce into smaller pieces than if you are using a juicer.
- If you are using a juicer, then run the vegetable and fruit pieces through the juicer.
- Collect the juice in a pitcher and serve immediately.
- If you are using a food processor or blender, add the cucumber, apple, lemon, ginger, mint, and water to the base.
- Blend or process on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth.
- Then, pour the blended juice through a nut milk bag, squeezing it from the top down to drain the juice into a pitcher.
- Discard the collected pulp, or save it and use it for another purpose.
