Detoxify Your Body With Apple Cucumber Juice
While most of Trinidad is in recovery after a powerful Monday and Tuesday, it helps to have easy recipes to jumpstart the recovery process. We’re featuring a detoxifying but delicious and refreshing juice and make-ahead, mini-quiches. Though these recipes are perfect for the Wednesday after Carnival, either would be great to add to your weekly line-up of meals.
APPLE CUCUMBER JUICE
Cucumber and coconut water are both hydrating and detoxifying elements of this smoothie which work to replenish your body after two hard days of fete-ing. Blended apples lend a sweetness to the juice that stops it from tasting even remotely healthy while lime juice balances the entire flavour profile.
We blend and strain this juice, however if you don’t mind the pulp or, want extra roughage in your diet, skip this step. Additionally, if you are more interested in a smoothie then, blend, strain and blend again with ice. Don’t let the green colour scare you, the juice is satisfying and delicious.
