Ingredients Note
How to make this recipe
Peel the skin of the cucumber and chop/slice it. Chop the pineapple pieces and apple. Peel the skin of ginger. Pineapple: Use fresh or frozen pineapple. Frozen pineapple will give you a nice texture and also a cold smoothie. Ginger: This helps in aiding digestion and as an anti-inflammatory. Just peel the skin of the ginger and add to the smoothies. Mint leaves: The addition of mint leaves also helps in digestion and gives a nice aroma to the smoothie. If you feel a little discomfort in the throat because of pineapple, mint leaves help to avoid that too. Apple: The addition of apple is optional but it gives body to the smoothie. Liquid: Use cold water or coconut water or any type of fresh juice. I used water for my recipe, but if you need a sweet note in the smoothie, add a mildly sweet juice like grape juice.
Expert tips
Always drink the smoothie immediately especially if you add apples.You can skip the apples and add any of your favorite choice of fruits. If you like to add cucumber with skin to the smoothie, be sure to use organic cucumber.
