Smoothie Sunday - Apple and Lemon

Ever feel the need for something a bit refreshing? Sour fruits can often do the trick! You don't want to go over the top though, as you want something with a lovely flavour too. That's why I came up with this recipe; to perk up my Sunday a little bit!

You only need four simple ingredients for this smoothie-

☞ 1 apple (green will be nicer, but I only had red!)

☞ 1/2 a lemon

☞ a couple of inches of cucumber

☞ 1/2 a glass of orange juice (or any juice for that matter!)

(You will also need a blender, a knife, a cup and a sieve!)

Step 1) Slice your apple into 4, and remove the core. Then, slice off the skin (skin doesn't blend very well!)

Step 2) Juice the half lemon into the blender through a sieve, and place the apple, cucumber and orange juice in with it. 

Step 3) Blend on a slow setting to begin with to chop the apple into tiny pieces, then gradually increase the power until you have a smoothie consistency. Sieve the drink into the glass to remove any chunks.

Don't be put off by the green colour! The drink is wonderfully refreshing, and is the perfect combination of sour and sweet! Enjoy!
