Think of fresh cucumber slices and you start feeling fresh already. I can't think of anything so mild and refreshing as a cucumber. If you want a summer drink that would make feel hydrated and cool immediately, cucumber juice is your best bet.

Cucumber lemon juice drink

It is interesting to know cucumber belongs to the same family as pumpkin, watermelon, squash, and zucchini. Cucumber is great for the skin too.

While cucumber hydrates and cools body heat, they also provide essential minerals for good skin. It is rich in vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, and folic acid. Packed with nourishing vitamins cucumber juice is a great way to start your day.

The benefits of drinking cucumber juice regularly are

  • aids in managing diabetes
  • helps prevents constipation
  • helps lowers blood pressure
  • reduces the risk of kidney stones
  • provides glowing fair skin complexion

Pairing cucumber juice with little honey and lemon juice gives you a great-tasting drink that is full of Vitamin C. While fresh fruits are a bit pricey, this simple and inexpensive vegetable makes a soothing drink to fill your mornings.

How to make it?

Cucumber and lemon

Juice two cucumbers in a hard juicer without peeling.

Add lemon juice.

Add honey to cucumber juice.

Add honey or any sweeter for like. Chill with ice and serve.

Variations

While I use a hard juicer to juice cucumber, sometimes, I also add other hard fruits and vegetables like carrots and apples in my daily juice both taste great. And the best thing is both are sweet. So you can reduce or skip honey if adding any of these.

But, as I always try to keep the recipe simple with fewer ingredients, I'm not adding these to this cucumber lemon juice. But are recommended addition if available. Apart from these bottle gourd without skin can also be added but it's quite tasteless.

Tips

If you do not have a hard juicer, you can still make cucumber juice in a blender. You might need to add a little water to make the cucumber move initially in the blender.

The extra step is to strain it through a coarse strainer. But it is doable. That's the reason why I find a hard juicer is easier and quicker.

Carrots, beetroot, apple, and pears are the best choice to be mixed with cucumber lemon juice. Especially because they can also go in the hard juicer with cucumber.

Recipe FAQs

Should I peel Cucumbers?

If you are using organic cucumbers, peeling is not needed at all. The peel has some nutrients, but it can be covered with pesticides too that's why some peeling people feel more comfortable with peeling, so it's a personal choice. As most of the peel is removed in the hard juicer, I recommended not going through the extra hassle of peeling.

How long does cucumber juice last in the fridge? Can I freeze it?

Fresh cucumber has the highest nutritional value and it is best enjoyed when fresh. If you have to store it in the fridge, you can store it for up to 2-3 days in an airtight bottle. If you need to keep it longer, freeze it for up to 2 months.

When to drink cucumber juice?

If you wish to lose weight, cucumber lemon juice is best in the morning on the empty stomach or after a workout.

Can I skip the sweetener in cucumber lemon juice?

Honestly, cucumbers are not sweet naturally so you'll miss the sweetness and it won't taste as great but that's ok. It still tastes quite refreshing. I often juice an apple along with a cucumber when I wish to skip the honey.
