Blend a washed green apple, parsley, cucumber and a small piece of ginger with water until smooth. Start with less ginger, taste the mixture, and add more if you want a stronger, warmer flavor.
A green apple, parsley, ginger and cucumber smoothie provides fluid and nutrients from fruit and vegetables, including vitamin C. It can be a refreshing drink, but it is not a treatment or a substitute for a varied diet.
Not by itself. A green apple, parsley, ginger and cucumber smoothie may help replace a sugary drink, but it does not cause weight loss on its own and may not keep you full as long as a balanced meal.
No. A green apple, parsley, ginger and cucumber smoothie does not flush toxins from your body; your liver and kidneys handle that job. The drink can contribute fluid and plant nutrients, but it is not a detox treatment.
Yes, but a green apple, parsley, ginger and cucumber smoothie tastes best freshly blended. If you make it ahead, seal it in a container, refrigerate it and drink it the same day; the apple may darken as it sits.
Yes, you can freeze a green apple, parsley, ginger and cucumber smoothie in a freezer-safe container, leaving room for expansion. Thaw it in the refrigerator and blend it again, since the ingredients may separate or become less smooth.
Usually, no. A green apple, parsley, ginger and cucumber smoothie is meant to be blended and served with its pulp; straining removes some of the fruit and vegetable solids. Blend it longer if you prefer a smoother texture.
No, peeling is optional for a green apple, parsley, ginger and cucumber smoothie. Wash the apple well under running water and remove its core and seeds; leaving the skin on gives the blended drink more texture.
Yes. If parsley tastes too strong, use less of it in a green apple, parsley, ginger and cucumber smoothie, or swap it for a mild leafy green such as baby spinach. The flavor will change, but the drink will still blend well.
Yes, most people can include a green apple, parsley, ginger and cucumber smoothie regularly as one drink in a varied diet. Rotate it with other fruits and vegetables rather than relying on the same smoothie as a meal replacement.

Green apple, parsley, ginger and cucumber smoothie blends fruit, fresh herbs and vegetables into a cool drink. It has no single regional origin; combinations like this are made in home kitchens and cafés in many places. The apple brings tart sweetness, cucumber keeps the flavour fresh, ginger adds a warming bite and parsley gives it a grassy edge. Serve it chilled, either smooth or with a little texture left in.
It works as a light breakfast accompaniment or an in-between-meal drink, including in warm weather. Compared with juice, it retains some fibre from the blended ingredients and is relatively low in calories: 34 per 100 g. If you prefer a thinner consistency, blend in water; when the apple is sweet enough, there is little need to add a sweetener.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
