Introduction:
In today’s fast-paced world, our bodies are constantly exposed to processed foods, pollutants, and stress—factors that can compromise digestive health and leave us feeling sluggish. A simple, natural way to give your colon a break and support detoxification is through a fresh, nutrient-rich juice. This 3-ingredient colon cleanse juice is not only refreshing but also helps flush out built-up waste, supports digestive regularity, and may even aid in reducing bloating and water retention.
While it’s not a magical weight-loss elixir, many people report feeling lighter, more energetic, and less bloated after incorporating this drink into their routine for a few days. Here's how to make it.
Ingredients:
-
1 medium green apple (preferably organic)
-
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger root
-
Optional: 1 cup filtered water for easier blending
Why These Ingredients?
-
Apple: Rich in fiber and natural pectin, apples help bulk up stool and sweep the digestive tract clean.
-
Lemon: Alkalizing and high in vitamin C, lemon stimulates liver function and supports detox pathways.
-
Ginger: A powerful anti-inflammatory that stimulates digestion, reduces gas, and soothes the GI tract.
Preparation:
-
Wash the apple thoroughly and remove the core. Chop it into small pieces.
-
If using fresh ginger, peel and slice it.
-
Combine the apple, lemon juice, and ginger in a blender.
-
Add 1 cup of filtered water if needed for consistency.
-
Blend until smooth.
-
If desired, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a smoother texture.
Serving and Storage Tips:
-
Drink the juice fresh in the morning on an empty stomach for best results.
-
You can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight glass container for up to 24 hours, but fresh is always better to retain nutrients.
-
Stir well before drinking if stored.
