Notes
- Guava is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, while spinach and cucumber add vitamins, fiber, and hydration.
- You can add a few mint leaves for extra freshness or substitute water with coconut water for a tropical twist.
- Adjust the amount of water based on how thick or thin you prefer your juice.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
