Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 2 English cucumbers
- 1 lemon juice and zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
Instructions
- Slice off the ends of the cucumbers and peel. Chop into a few larger pieces.
- Place the cucumbers, water, lemon zest, lemon juice and mint in a food processor or in a blender. Blend the ingredients for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Set a strainer over a larger bowl and pour the cucumber juice into the strainer. Use a spatula to move the juice through the strainer until no more juice strains out. Discard the solids.
- Enjoy the cucumber juice immediately, or store in fridge for up to 24 hours.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight mason jar. It will stay fresh for up to 24 hours. But ideally, it's best to consume immediately after blending.
Equipment: I use my Vitamix blender to make my smoothies. It has a "smoothie" button so it does all the work for me until the ingredients are well blended.
