Green Detox combines cucumber, green apple juice, lime and spinach in a fresh, green mocktail. The name is a recipe title, not a claim that the drink removes toxins or treats a health condition.
Ingredients
- 4 leaf Spinach
- 4 cl Apple juice
Method
- Wash the cucumber and lime under running water before cutting or juicing. Rinse loose spinach leaves; spinach labelled pre-washed or ready-to-eat does not need washing again. Use clean equipment to extract the cucumber juice with a juicer or blender. If using a blender, strain the juice to remove the pulp.
- In a shaker, add the cucumber juice, green apple juice, lime juice, and spinach leaves.
- Add the agave syrup to the shaker.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds.
- Pour the contents of the shaker into a glass filled with ice, straining out the spinach pieces using a fine mesh strainer.
- Garnish the glass with a slice of cucumber and a mint leaf.
Straining removes pieces of spinach, not harmful bacteria. For people at greater risk of foodborne illness, choose pasteurised juices and avoid untreated raw vegetable juice. See FDA guidance on juice safety.
