Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fresh Cucumber:<\/strong> 1 medium-sized English cucumber, sliced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pineapple Chunks:<\/strong> 1 cup of fresh, ripe pineapple for that tropical sweetness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Citrus Boost:<\/strong> Freshly squeezed juice of 1 large lemon (or lime). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aromatic Touch:<\/strong> A few fresh mint leaves and a small piece of fresh ginger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Protein Enhancement:<\/strong> 1 bottle of clear, unflavored protein drink to make it bariatric-friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ice:<\/strong> Crushed ice for serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Prepare the Base:<\/strong> In a high-speed blender, combine the sliced cucumber, fresh pineapple chunks, and ginger. Blend until completely smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Strain for Silkiness:<\/strong> Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to extract a clean, vibrant green juice, discarding the pulp for a refined texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Infuse and Balance:<\/strong> Stir in the fresh lemon juice and the clear unflavored protein drink, blending the nutritional elements seamlessly without altering the crisp flavor profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.
