Revitalizing Apple & Cabbage Detox Juice
Easy Apple and Cabbage Detox Juice: Perfect for a Healthy Snack!
This recipe crafts a vibrant detox juice using apples, rich in fiber, which help eliminate bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol, proving effective in preventing arteriosclerosis. Apples are also packed with potassium to help regulate blood pressure, phenolic acids for stroke prevention, and quercetin to strengthen lung function. They are excellent for combating fatigue due to their organic acids, making them a superb addition to detox drinks. Cabbage is an alkaline vegetable known for its lack of side effects and contains vitamins C, K, and U. Red cabbage, in particular, boasts higher protein and vitamin content, along with lysine and other essential amino acids. This juice is a fantastic way to boost your health, whether as a breakfast substitute or a nutritious snack.
Ingredients- 1 fresh apple
- 1 handful of cabbage (approx. 1/4 of a small head)
- 400 ml water
- 2 tablespoons honey
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the core ingredients for your detox juice. Wash 1 apple thoroughly, measure 1 handful of fresh cabbage (about 1/4 of a small head), 2 tablespoons of honey for a touch of sweetness, and 400 ml of water for a smooth consistency. This recipe yields about 2 servings. If you enjoy a tangier flavor, feel free to add a splash of apple cider vinegar.
Step 2
Wash the apple under running water. You’ll be blending it with the peel on, as the apple skin is packed with vitamins and beneficial antioxidants. Simply core the apple and add it whole to your blender.
Step 3
Add all the prepared ingredients into your blender. Blend until smooth, or leave slightly chunky if you prefer. You’ll notice the mixture separates after blending: the fibrous apple and cabbage solids will float on top, while a clear liquid, a blend of the juice and water, settles at the bottom. This is the essence of your detox drink.
Step 4
Now, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. As you strain, use the back of a spoon to gently press down on the solids remaining in the sieve. This action helps to extract as much liquid as possible, ensuring a smooth and palatable juice with no large pulp.
Step 5
Behold, your beautiful Apple and Cabbage Detox Juice! It has a lovely, clear color reminiscent of lime or lemon juice, looking incredibly refreshing. It’s visually appealing and promises a burst of health benefits. Chill it in the refrigerator before serving for an even more delightful experience. Enjoy it as a breakfast replacement or a healthy pick-me-up snack!
