Cucumber Apple Ginger Blend (Print Version)

A crisp blend of cucumber, apple, and ginger for a natural and invigorating juice blend.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fresh Produce

01 - 1 large cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
02 - 2 medium apples, cored and chopped
03 - 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
04 - 1/2 lemon, juiced

→ Liquids

05 - 1/2 cup cold water

→ Optional

06 - 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup
07 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - Wash and prepare the cucumber, apples, and ginger. Peel the cucumber and ginger, core and chop the apples into uniform pieces.
02 - Add the chopped cucumber, apples, ginger, lemon juice, and cold water to a blender or juicer.
03 - Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher or glass to remove pulp.
04 - Taste the juice and add honey or agave syrup if desired for additional sweetness.
05 - Serve immediately over ice, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It takes 10 minutes and tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
  • Your body feels the difference after drinking it, which sounds like wellness nonsense until you experience it yourself.
  • One glass sits somewhere between juice and medicine, refreshing and purposeful without tasting medicinal at all.
02 -
  • Ginger gets more intense when it sits, so don't add extra thinking you'll blend more in later—start with what the recipe says and adjust next time.
  • Straining is not optional if you want actual juice, because a blended mixture will taste grainy and weird no matter how smooth it seems.
03 -
  • Make it the night before if you must, but know that the longer it sits, the more the flavors flatten and the more the color fades—fresh tastes tangibly better.
  • Freeze the juice in ice cube trays and blend the cubes with milk or plant milk later for a juice popsicle that tastes like dessert.
