- 1 cucumber, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash all fresh produce under cool running water to remove any dirt or potential pesticide residues.

- Add fresh lemon juice to enhance flavor and provide additional vitamin C for skin health.
- Pour water into the blender to help create a smooth, drinkable consistency.
- Blend all ingredients on high speed for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and well-integrated.

Tips
- Choose Fresh, Organic Produce: The quality of your ingredients directly impacts the nutritional value and taste of your juice.
- Invest in a High-Powered Blender: A powerful blender ensures smooth blending and breaks down tough vegetable fibers for maximum nutrient extraction.
- Chill Before Serving: For the most refreshing experience, refrigerate the juice for 15-20 minutes before drinking.
- Drink Immediately: Freshly blended juices lose nutrients quickly, so consume within 24 hours for optimal benefits.
- Optional Straining: If you prefer a smoother texture, use a fine-mesh strainer to remove pulp, but remember that the fiber contains additional nutrients.
- Experiment with Temperature: While this juice is delicious chilled, you can also enjoy it at room temperature to preserve more enzymes.
