Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. It is a beautiful Thursday morning in this part of the world, and I am excited to share another healthy drink recipe today.
I decided to go green this morning, and cucumber is always my go-to fruit on days like this. I got my ingredients but decided to do things differently, which is using another fruit as a sweetener for my cucumber juice.
I have always depended on sugar as a sweetener, even though I use just a little, but this time, I chose to keep it 100% natural.
-
450g of cucumber
-
300g of pineapple
-
1 piece of ginger
I have my pineapple peeled and cut in smaller pieces already, so I moved on to the other fruits.
 |  |
- I rinsed the cucumber first and cut both ends of the fruit.
 |  |
- I cut the fruit and got rid of the seeds before finally cutting it into smaller sizes that would fit into my blender.
 |  |
- I peeled the ginger back and cut it into smaller sizes before rinsing it.
 |  |
- I have my ingredients processed already, so let's get to the next stage, which is blending.
- I filled my blender with the fruits and added a small quantity of water.
 |  |  |
- You don't need much water for the fruit since cucumber and pineapple give lots of fluid when blended.
 |  |
- I blended the fruit for about five minutes just to ensure they blended properly.
 |  |
After blending, I put the blender cup aside and got my sieve ready.
 |  |
-
I placed it on a bowl that will collect the sieved juice once I pour the content in the blender into the sieve.
- I poured the blended fruit into the sieve and waited patiently for the sieve to do its job.
-
I successfully sieved the juice out and went on to serve the drink.
There is a whole difference between using sugar and natural sweetener, which I think is perfect. The ginger also added this spicy taste, and I love the combo.
I enjoyed the juice with my wife, and it was great. The drink is very healthy because every ingredient used carries a lot of nutrients, and combining them all just tells how much this drink has to offer the body system.
Let me know what you think about this drink.
