  • Author: Maria
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 cups 1x

Description

This Green Apple Cucumber Juice is a refreshing blend of tart green apples and cool cucumber, perfect for hot days or as a healthy snack. With a hint of lemon and optional honey, it’s a hydrating drink that can be enjoyed over ice and garnished with fresh mint.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium green apples
  • 1 large cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1 cup cold water
  • Ice cubes (for serving)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash the green apples and cucumber under running water to remove any pesticides or dirt.
  2. Core the green apples to remove the seeds, leaving the skin on for added nutrients. Cut into quarters or smaller pieces.
  3. Trim the ends of the cucumber and slice it into chunks. You can peel it if you prefer a smoother juice.
  4. Cut a lemon in half and squeeze out the juice, removing any seeds.
  5. Prepare your juicer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If using a blender, have it ready.
  6. Feed the apple pieces and cucumber chunks into the juicer, alternating between them for optimal juice extraction. Collect the juice in a pitcher or bowl.
  7. Place apple pieces and cucumber chunks in the blender with cold water. Blend on high until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher, pressing down on the pulp to extract as much juice as possible.
  8. Stir in the tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. If desired, add honey and stir until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  9. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or serve immediately over ice.
  10. Fill your favorite glasses with ice cubes.
  11. Pour the juice into the prepared glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  12. Appreciate the vibrant color before sipping. Enjoy the refreshing combination of tart green apples and cucumber!

Notes

  • Store any leftover juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours. Shake well before serving.
  • Feel free to add spinach, ginger, or coconut water for different flavors and health benefits.
