Cucumber Mint Quencher: A Hydrating Morning Starter
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers, peeled
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup cold water
- Ice cubes
- Mint sprigs and cucumber slices for garnish
How to make it
- Wash the cucumbers well, peel them, and chop them into pieces that fit nicely in your blender or juicer.
- Rinse the mint leaves with cold water and gently pat them dry with paper.
- If you’re using a juicer, just add the cucumber pieces and the mint leaves. Collect the juice as it comes out.
- If you’re using a blender, throw in the cucumber pieces, mint, and water. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth, about 2 minutes. Then, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, pressing down to extract all the liquid.
- Pour the cucumber and mint juice into a pitcher. Add the lime juice and the honey or syrup, if using. Stir it up until it’s all dissolved.
- Give it a taste and add more sweetener if you want. If you prefer it lighter, add a splash more water and you’re done.
- Stick it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can mix well.
- Serve it with ice, and for a touch of elegance, decorate with mint leaves and cucumber slices.
For maximum hydration and freshness, drink this Cucumber Mint Quencher within 24 hours of preparation.
If you prefer a smoother texture without pulp, double-strain the juice using a finer mesh sieve or cheesecloth after the initial straining.
The cucumber provides essential electrolytes while mint aids digestion, making this an ideal morning drink.
Strawberry Rhubarb Revitalizer: A Naturally Sweet and Tangy Boost
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
- 2 stalks rhubarb, trimmed and chopped
- 1 apple, cored and quartered
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 inch piece of ginger, peeled
- 1/4 cup mint leaves
- Ice cubes (for serving)
- Filtered water (optional, for diluting)
How to make it
- Wash all the fruit and veg well. Take the stems off the strawberries, chop the rhubarb into pieces about 2 or 3 centimeters long, and remove the core of the apple before chopping it up.
- If you’re using a juicer, just add the strawberries, rhubarb, apple, and ginger, following your machine’s instructions. Collect the juice.
- If you’re using a blender: Mix the strawberries, rhubarb, apple, ginger, mint, and lemon juice. Add a quarter of a cup of water to help it blend better. Blend it all until smooth, then strain it through a fine strainer or a nut milk bag, pressing down to extract all the juice.
- Taste the juice, and if it’s too sour, add the honey or syrup. Stir it up until it’s dissolved.
- Serve the juice in glasses with ice. If the flavor is too strong, you can add a bit of filtered water to your liking.
- If you’d like, you can decorate with some mint leaves and a strawberry slice on the edge of the glass. And enjoy it right away so it doesn’t lose any nutrients!
For the best flavor balance, choose bright red stalks of rhubarb, which tend to be less tart than green ones.
This juice is best consumed immediately after preparation, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
The rhubarb leaves should always be discarded as they contain oxalic acid and are toxic when consumed.
Carrot Ginger Sunshine: The Immune-Boosting Energizer
- 5 medium carrots, washed and trimmed
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
- 1 orange, peeled
- 1 lemon, peeled
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 cup water (or as needed for desired consistency)
- Ice cubes (optional)
How to make it
- Wash all the fruit and veg well. Trim the ends of the carrots and cut them into pieces that will fit through your juicer. Peel the ginger, orange, and lemon.
- If you’re using a juicer: Put in the carrots, ginger, orange, and lemon, following your machine’s instructions. Collect the juice.
- If you’re using a blender: Chop the carrots, ginger, orange, and lemon into smaller pieces. Put them in the blender with the glass of water and blend it all up until it’s smooth. Then, strain it through a fine strainer or a nut milk bag, pressing down to extract all the juice.
- Add honey, if desired, and stir until it is dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
- Pour the juice into glasses. Add ice cubes if you prefer a chilled beverage. Serve immediately for maximum nutritional benefit.
This immune-boosting energizer is best consumed fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
The vitamin C content will gradually decrease over time, and separation is normal – just give it a quick stir before drinking.
For extra nutritional benefits, consider adding a pinch of turmeric or a handful of spinach to the recipe.
Green Apple and Spinach Detox: Nature’s Cleansing Elixir
Ingredients
- 2 green apples, cored and quartered
- 3 cups fresh spinach, washed
- 1 cucumber, peeled
- 1 lemon, peeled
- 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled
- 1 stalk celery
- 1/2 cup filtered water (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
How to make it
- Wash all the fruit and veg well under the tap. Wash the spinach carefully to remove any dirt.
- Remove the cores from the apples and chop them into quarters. Peel the cucumber and lemon, and chop them into pieces for the juicer. Peel the ginger.
- Get your juicer ready and follow the instructions. Put a glass or container under the juice spout and another one under the pulp spout.
- Start juicing, alternating between hard and soft fruits and vegetables. Start with a bit of spinach, then apple pieces, then cucumber, more spinach, celery, lemon, and ginger. This way, the juicer works better with the leaves.
- If the juice is too thick for you, add the filtered water and stir it gently. If you want it nice and cold, throw in some ice cubes.
- Serve it right away so it doesn’t lose its goodness. It’ll keep in the fridge in a closed container for up to a day, but fresh is always best.
For ideal nutritional benefits, drink this detox juice on an empty stomach in the morning.
If the taste is too intense, you can add a teaspoon of honey or a slice of green apple to sweeten it.
Spinach tends to produce less juice than other ingredients, so don’t be alarmed if it seems to disappear in your juicer—its nutrients are still being extracted into your drink.
Beet and Berry Vitality Blend: The Antioxidant Powerhouse
Ingredients
- 2 medium beets, peeled
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 apple, cored
- 1 inch piece of ginger, peeled
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup filtered water (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
How to make it
- Wash all the fruit and veg well. Peel the beets and chop them into small pieces for the juicer. Remove the core from the apple and chop it into quarters.
- If you’re using a juicer: Put in the beets, berries, apple, and ginger, following your machine’s instructions. Collect the juice in a big container and add the lemon juice.
- If you’re using a blender, throw all the ingredients, including the water if you’re using it, into a powerful blender. Blend it all up until it’s completely smooth, a couple of minutes. If you want it softer, you can strain it with a fine-mesh strainer or a nut milk bag.
- Serve the juice in glasses. If you want, add ice for a refreshing touch. And drink it right away to get all the nutrients!
Store any leftover juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before serving, as separation may occur.
For the best nutritional value, consume this juice immediately after preparation, as antioxidants and nutrients begin to degrade when exposed to air and light.
To enhance the earthy flavor of beets, try adding a pinch of sea salt or drizzling honey if you prefer a sweeter blend. If the beet flavor is too strong, increase the berry ratio or add more apples for natural sweetness.
