🛒 Ingredients & Quantities (Makes 4–5 servings for the week)
3 large cucumbers (preferably organic)
1 green apple (for natural sweetness)
1 lemon (peeled)
1–2 inch fresh ginger root
1 handful fresh parsley (or mint)

Optional: 1 celery stalk for added detox support
👩🍳 Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly.
Roughly chop cucumbers, apple, lemon, and ginger.
Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender.

🌍 Origin and Cultural Significance
Cucumber-based beverages have long roots in traditional wellness systems. In ancient Ayurvedic practices in India, cooling foods like cucumber and herbs were used to balance excess heat and inflammation in the body. Similarly, Mediterranean cultures, especially in Greece, have historically used cucumber, lemon, and herbs in refreshing tonics to aid digestion and hydration during hot seasons.
Ginger and lemon have also been staples in natural remedies across Asia and the Middle East for centuries, valued for their immune-boosting and digestive-supporting properties.
✨ Optional Additions
½ teaspoon turmeric (extra anti-inflammatory boost)
Pinch of black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (fiber boost)
Coconut water instead of regular water (for electrolytes)
A handful of spinach (extra greens without overpowering flavor)
💡 Tips for Success
Use chilled cucumbers for a crisp, refreshing taste.
Drink on an empty stomach in the morning for best digestive support.
If you’re sensitive to ginger, start with a smaller amount.
Always use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for maximum benefits.
Store in airtight glass containers to preserve nutrients.
