Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 3 - 4 medium cucumbers
• 200 - 300 ml coconut water
• 200 g celery stalks
• 2 large kiwis
• ½ lime
• ¼ tsp Himalayan pink salt

Preparation Time

15 minutes

Step-by-Step Instruction

1. Gather all the ingredients and ensure they are well-washed and clean.
2. Peel the kiwis and the cucumber if you prefer a smoother texture.
3. Chop the celery stalks into manageable pieces to fit your juicer.
4. Slice the lime in half and prepare to extract its juice.
5. Use a slow juicer to carefully extract juice from the celery, cucumbers, and kiwis. This method retains maximum nutrients.
6. Collect the juice in a large bowl or pitcher for mixing.
7. Squeeze the lime juice directly into the mixed juice for added freshness and flavor.
8. Add the coconut water to the juice mix, adjusting the quantity to suit your taste preferences and desired consistency.
9. Sprinkle the Himalayan pink salt into the mixture, stirring it thoroughly to ensure it dissolves well.
10. Taste the mixture and adjust the salt or coconut water as needed to fit your flavor preference.
11. Transfer the juice into a clean glass bottle or container for storage.
12. Place in the refrigerator for a few minutes if you prefer a chilled drink.
13. Enjoy the juice fresh, taking it with you to the gym or during physical activities for a refreshing hydration boost.
14. Seal any leftover juice tightly and refrigerate. It’s best consumed within 24 hours for maximum freshness.
15. You may store the leftover pulp for another recipe, such as a breakfast pesto or compost it for zero waste.
16. If you don’t have a slow juicer, a high-speed blender followed by straining with a fine mesh sieve can be an alternative way to make the juice.
