Apple Ginger Wellness Drink

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 1 large red apple, cored and chopped
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
• 1½ cups cold water
• Juice of ½ lemon
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon, optional
• 1 tsp honey, optional
• 4–5 ice cubes, optional

Instructions

1. Wash the apple thoroughly, remove the core and seeds, and cut it into chunks. You can leave the peel on.
2. Peel and roughly chop the fresh ginger.
3. Add the apple, ginger, water, lemon juice, and cinnamon to a blender.
4. Blend for 45–60 seconds until smooth.
5. For a juice-like drink, strain through a fine-mesh sieve. For more fiber, leave it unstrained.
6. Taste and add honey only if additional sweetness is needed.
7. Pour into glasses and serve immediately, with ice if desired.

Optional Add-Ins

For extra flavor, add a few mint leaves or a small pinch of turmeric and black pepper.

Note: Apple and ginger can be part of a nutritious diet, but this drink hasn’t been shown to reduce cholesterol, joint inflammation, or fatigue to “zero” within three days.
