How to Make Fresh Green Apple Juice
Green apple juice is a refreshing, tangy-sweet drink packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Not only does it taste delicious, but it’s also a natural boost for your immune system and digestion. Whether you want it as a morning energizer or a cooling summer beverage, making it at home is quick and easy.
Ingredients
- 2–3 fresh green apples (Granny Smith variety works best)
- 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional, for extra tang)
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- ½ cup chilled water or coconut water
- A few ice cubes

Step-by-Step Method
1. Wash and Prepare the Apples
- Rinse the apples thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticide residue.
- Cut them into quarters and remove the seeds. You can keep the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients.

Using a Blender:
- Add apple pieces to the blender along with chilled water or coconut water.

- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or muslin cloth to remove pulp (optional, if you prefer a clear juice).
3. Add Flavor Enhancements
- Stir in lemon juice to keep the color fresh and add a zesty kick.
- Sweeten with honey or sugar if the apples are too tart.
4. Serve and Enjoy
- Pour the juice into a glass filled with ice cubes.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a cooling aroma.
- Serve immediately to retain maximum nutrients and flavor.
