1/2 cup water (more or less to reach desired consistency)
Optional: a pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients: Wash all produce thoroughly. Chop the apple and cucumber into smaller pieces. Peel the ginger and lemon.
Blend: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
Blend Until Smooth: Start with 1/2 cup of water and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother juice, strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or fine-mesh sieve. This step is entirely up to you!
Serve Immediately: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutritional benefits. You can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Add a Boost (Optional): For an extra boost, consider adding a scoop of protein powder, chia seeds, or flaxseed meal.
