Green Detox

Beautiful Autumn weather, warm sunny evening with cool breeze is what I needed to enjoy my hike on Friday evening.
Lemonade or coconut water are my favorite post hike energy boosters.
Combined both with green apple and pumpkin seeds to make a perfect Detox.


1 large green apple  chopped
3/4 cup coconut water
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp pumpkin seeds
1 inch ginger chopped
1/4 cup water
2-3 small minced jalapeño pieces optional

Juice the green apple with pumpkin seeds with little water until they are pureed.  Add the ginger and if needed, the  jalapeños and blend again.  Mix in the remaining ingredients and pulse for a minute.
Serve with or without ice.
Note that pumpkin seeds bumped up the nutritive value in this Detox juice due to omega 3 fats,  zinc and magnesium.
Nutrition is very plant based and perfect if you are a vegan.
