Yes, you can use frozen fruits instead of fresh ones. Just keep in mind that it may change the texture slightly, making it thicker.
2. Is it necessary to peel the cucumber?
It’s not necessary to peel the cucumber, especially if it’s organic. The skin contains many nutrients, but if you prefer a smoother juice, you can peel it.
