Invigorating blend of crisp cucumber, sweet apple, and zesty ginger for a natural cleanse and refreshment.

# Needed ingredients:

→ Fresh Produce

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

01 - Wash the cucumber, apples, and ginger thoroughly. Peel the cucumber and ginger, then peel and core the apples. Chop all produce into roughly equal pieces for consistent blending.
02 - Add the prepared cucumber, apples, ginger, lemon juice, and cold water to a blender or juicer.
03 - Blend on high speed until completely smooth, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. If using a juicer, process all ingredients according to manufacturer instructions.
04 - Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher or drinking glass to remove pulp and achieve a smooth juice consistency.
