Cucumber, Lime & Ginger Juice

Ingredients:

• 2 medium cucumbers, washed and sliced (including peels)

• 1.5-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped

• Juice of 2 limes

• 1 teaspoon brown sugar (or honey, optional)

• Ice cubes (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Begin by washing and slicing the cucumbers, ensuring you keep the nutrient-rich peels intact. Peel and chop the ginger as well.

2. Blending: Place the cucumber slices and chopped ginger into the blender. Squeeze the juice of two limes into the blender to infuse the mixture with a zesty flavor. Optionally, add a teaspoon of brown sugar for a slight touch of sweetness. For a healthier alternative, you can use honey or omit sweeteners altogether.

3. Blending: Secure the blender lid and blend the ingredients on high until you achieve a smooth and vibrant green mixture.

4. Straining: If desired, strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer to remove any remaining pulp and ensure a smoother consistency.

5. Serving: Transfer the strained juice into glasses filled with ice cubes for an extra refreshing experience
