Introduction:
Your eyes are your windows to the world, and just like any other part of your body, they thrive on proper nourishment. With its cooling effect, high water content, and powerful antioxidants, cucumber has long been used in natural remedies to reduce puffiness and soothe tired eyes. But what if you could drink your way to brighter, healthier vision? This refreshing cucumber juice recipe is packed with nutrients like vitamin C, beta-carotene, and silica—all known to support eye health. Let’s dive into how to make this revitalizing drink.
Ingredients:
1 large cucumber (organic, if possible)
1 green apple (for natural sweetness)
1/2 lemon (peeled)
A small piece of fresh ginger (about 1/2 inch, optional for anti-inflammatory benefits)
5–6 fresh mint leaves (optional, for a cooling flavor)
1/2 cup filtered water or coconut water
Instructions:
Wash all produce thoroughly.
Peel the cucumber if it's wax-coated; otherwise, leave the skin on for extra fiber.
Core the apple and chop all ingredients into small pieces for easier blending.
Combine cucumber, apple, lemon, ginger, mint leaves, and water in a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a smoother juice (optional).
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve chilled, ideally in the morning on an empty stomach for maximum absorption.
Store any leftover juice in an airtight glass container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.
Avoid adding sugar—let the natural sweetness of apple do the work.
