Vibrant Green Detox Drink
Feeling sluggish, a little off-kilter, or just craving a burst of pure, unadulterated freshness? This Vibrant Green Detox Drink is packed with fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients that can help you feel refreshed and hydrated. While it’s a healthy drink, keep in mind that it doesn’t “detox” the body in the medical sense—your liver and kidneys already do that naturally.
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber, chopped
- 2 green apples, cored and chopped
- 4 celery stalks

Instructions

- For a smoother drink, strain through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth (optional).
- Pour into glasses or bottles and chill before serving.
Storage
- Store in an airtight glass bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
