I have read some recipes with Cayenne pepper as one of the key ingredients used, so I decided to try that out today.

Ingredients.

Lemon – 1

Lime – 1

Green Apple – 1

Cucumber – 1

Grapefruit – 1/2

Coconut Water – 2 Cups

Cayenne Pepper – 1 Teaspoon

Make sure you wash your fruits in water thoroughly adding a few drops of white vinegar to help kill any bacteria on the surface.

Add the ingredients to the cup of your extractor/juicer/blender.

Blend for 30 – 60 seconds or until smooth.

Allow to cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more to enjoy it better.

Now give it a try and please kindy leave your feedback in the comment section of this blog.
