Notes:
You can use a Juicer for the cucumber and string beans as well as the ginger (if you are using whole ginger). You may not get enough though and may need to add a bit more water. Also, you can add additional lime juice (as I did), as I love lemon, and the taste of it in my juices. Also, you can add more water if you prefer a lighter consistency.
