Apple Cucumber Juice Health Benefits

Great for Skin

The heavy water content of cucumber hydrates the skin and improves its texture. It’s also rich in Vitamin K and silica (a mineral), which promote healthy skin.

Encourages Weight Loss

There are .5 grams of fiber in one cup of apple juice. Fiber regulates digestive health, therefore contributing to weight loss management. Cucumber also helps you feel fuller for longer so you can burn fat.

Hydrating

Reach for a glass of apple cucumber juice when you are dehydrated because the main ingredients are water-rich and ultra-hydrating. (Apple is 88% water and cucumber is 96% water!) Hydration contributes to properly functioning organs and mood regulation.

Excellent for Detoxing

Cucumber is a natural diuretic. Consuming cucumbers regularly improves bowel movements and flushes out toxins.

Reduces Inflammation

Apples contain plant compounds that protect cells from inflammation. This can ease the symptoms of chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Organic Apples: This adds a pleasantly sweet taste. Use your favorite variety.
• Large English Cucumber: For a cool, refreshing quality. English cucumber are best as they have thin skin that you do not have to peel.
• Lemon: Add this for a pop of citrus flavor and a boost of Vitamin C.
• Water: The liquid base of the drink.

Optional Add-ins

• Fresh Ginger: Aside from adding a hint of spice to your drink, ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, increasing serotonin and dopamine levels.
• Fresh Turmeric: Studies have proven that consuming curcumin, an active ingredient in turmeric, lowers your risk of heart disease.
• Fresh Pineapple: Use this ingredient for a sweet, tropical twist.
• Celery Stalks: Add this for more fiber.

How to Make Apple Cucumber Juice

PREPARE THE FRUIT. Remove the skin from the apple (optional). Then, slice the flesh into large chunks. Slice the cucumber into large pieces. Remove the rind from the lemon. (No need to remove the skin from the ginger or turmeric if using.)

BLEND. Add the ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth.

STRAIN. Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl or pitcher. Strain the pulp from the mixture to get a clear juice. (Feel free to leave the pulp if you like. It is full of fiber and nutrients.)

SERVE. Pour in a glass with ice cubes and garnish with cucumber slices. Enjoy!

Tips To Nail the Recipe

• Be sure to remove all apple seeds because they are toxic when ingested.
• You do not need to peel the cucumbers before blending.
• Do not add any sweeteners. If you prefer a sweeter drink, try adding green apples or carrots (although the latter would alter the color of the drink).

Storage

Store leftover cucumber apple juice in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 days. Separation is natural, so just give it a stir or shake before drinking.
