Drink Apple with Cucumber

### **Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Ingredients**:
– Wash the apple and cucumber thoroughly. If you’re using a green apple, it will add a tartness to the drink, while a red apple will give it a naturally sweeter taste. Peel the cucumber if you prefer a smoother drink, or leave the skin on for added nutrients.
– Cut the apple into small chunks and slice the cucumber.

2. **Blend**:
– Place the chopped apple and cucumber into a blender.
– Add cold water or coconut water to the blender. Coconut water gives the drink a tropical flair and a boost of electrolytes, but plain cold water will also do the trick.
– If you like a sweeter drink, add honey or maple syrup to taste.

3. **Blend Until Smooth**:
– Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Depending on your blender, this may take around 30 seconds to 1 minute.

4. **Serve**:
– Pour the drink into a glass. Add ice cubes if you want it extra cold and refreshing.
– Optionally, garnish with a few fresh mint leaves for an added layer of freshness and a beautiful pop of color.

5. **Enjoy**:
– Stir the drink if needed, and take a sip of this revitalizing, hydrating beverage! Perfect for warm weather, post-workout refreshment, or as a midday pick-me-up.
