- Why did the juice turn brown?
- Apple flesh oxidizes when exposed to air. Lemon juice slows this down, but it's best consumed immediately.
- I don't have a juicer.
- Blend with water, then strain through a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve.
Green Apple & Lemon Juice
The natural energy drink. The tartness and pectin of green apples, combined with a Vitamin C kick from lemon, provide instant freshness. This drink isn't just delicious; the natural sugars from the apple offer quick-absorbing energy, while the lemon helps maintain vibrant color and flavor.

Instructions
1
✓
Wash the apples. If not organic, peel them, then cut into wedges that fit your juicer's chute.
Tip: Remove the core, as seeds can add a bitter taste to the juice.
2
✓
Feed apples through the juicer, alternating with lemon juice (or stir lemon into the finished juice).
Tip: Lemon juice contains ascorbic acid which prevents enzymatic browning, keeping the juice a nice green-yellow.
3
✓
Taste. If too potent, dilute with water. If too sour, stir in honey.
Tip: Honey dissolves slowly in cold liquid, so stir patiently.
4
✓
Pour into a glass and drink immediately.
Tip: Vitamins in fresh juice degrade rapidly upon exposure to light and oxygen.
