These two green juice recipes are tasty and straightforward ways to detoxify our system and support our bodies as they recover from winter colds. They also help us maintain our strength for the remainder of the season.

Cucumber Green Juice

I don’t know about you, but January completely wiped us out. It felt like a never-ending cycle of sniffles, coughs, and kids passing germs back and forth like a game of hot potato. No matter how much hand-washing and vitamin-taking we did, someone was always under the weather.

But now, we’re stepping into February with a fresh start—and I’m so ready to focus on feeling good again. That means less time reaching for the tissue box and more time boosting our immune systems, hydrating, and getting back to our healthy habits.

One of the easiest ways I’ve found to hit reset after a rough month? Green juice. It’s packed with vitamins, refreshing, and actually tastes really good. (No weird, grassy flavors here—I promise.)

These two mini cucumber green juice recipes are exactly what we need right now. They’re loaded with immune-boosting, digestion-friendly, and hydration-packed ingredients to help our bodies recover and stay strong for the rest of winter. Plus, they take just minutes to make!

Why Green Juice Right Now?

Between cold weather, dry air, and all the germs still floating around, our bodies need all the support they can get. Green juice is a simple way to:

  • Boost your immune system (thanks to vitamin C from pineapple and lemon)
  • Help with digestion (ginger and cucumbers to the rescue)
  • Keep you hydrated (mini cucumbers are 96% water)
  • Give you a natural energy boost (no caffeine crashes here)

And honestly? It just feels good to drink something fresh and vibrant after a month of surviving on soup and cough drops.

Pineapple Cucumber Green Juice

This juice is light, refreshing, and a little tropical, making it the perfect way to ease into green juices if you’re new to them. It’s naturally sweet from the pineapple, a little zesty from the lemon, and has a kick of ginger for added warmth.

Pineapple Green Juice Ingredients:

  • 3 mini cucumbers, chopped – Ultra-hydrating and refreshing
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced – Naturally sweet with digestive enzymes
  • ½ lemon, peeled – Loaded with vitamin C for an immune boost
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled – Adds a kick and supports digestion
  • Ice (optional)

How to Make Green Juice:

  1. Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
  2. Pour the juice through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag for a smoother texture.
  3. Serve over ice or enjoy as is.

Benefits of Drinking Green Juice

  • Mini Cucumbers – These little guys are 96% water, which means they’re great for hydration. They also pack in vitamin K and antioxidants for extra skin and immune support.
  • Pineapple – Not only does it make this juice taste amazing, but it’s also packed with bromelain, an enzyme that helps with digestion and fights inflammation.
  • Lemon – You probably already know that lemon is loaded with vitamin C, but did you know it also helps flush out toxins and support digestion?
  • Ginger – One of the best natural remedies for nausea, bloating, and inflammation—plus, it gives this juice a little zing.

Anti-Inflammatory Green Juice

If you’re looking for a classic green juice that actually tastes good, this one’s for you. It has a little sweetness from green apples, a ton of nutrients from kale and celery, and all the refreshing goodness of cucumbers and lemon.

Few Juicing Tips to Make Life Easier

  • No juicer? No problem! Use a high-speed blender and strain with a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag.
  • Make ahead and store! Green juice is best fresh, but you can store it in an airtight mason jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Need a little more sweetness? Add an extra apple or a splash of coconut water.
  • Make it kid-friendly! If your little ones are skeptical, try serving it in a fun cup with a straw.
