  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Produce

  • 4 large apples (cored; Pink Lady, Gala, Granny Smith, or a combination)
  • ½ medium English cucumber
  • 3 celery stalks (ends trimmed, cut into 3 pieces)
  • 1 cup loosely packed baby spinach
  • 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • A handful of fresh parsley or fresh mint

Other

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or lime juice or orange juice, or a combination)
  • Ice for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your fruit and veggies: Wash all produce thoroughly before using to remove any dirt or residue.
  2. Prep for juicer: Cut the apples and cucumber into quarters. Cut each celery stalk into thirds to fit your juicer chute.
  3. Juice your produce: Following your juicer’s manufacturer instructions, feed all ingredients except ice into the juicer with the motor running. Collect the juice in a bowl.
  4. Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes if desired, pour the fresh juice over ice, and serve immediately for best flavor and nutrition.
  5. Alternatively, prep for blender: Cut apples into wedges and cucumber and celery into thick slices for easier blending.
  6. Blend ingredients: Place all produce along with lemon juice into a high-powered blender. Blend for about 2 minutes until smooth, using a tamper as needed to ensure all ingredients are processed.
  7. Strain juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag. Use a spoon to press the pulp and extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
  8. Serve: Pour the strained juice into glasses over ice if preferred and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use organic produce if possible for the freshest taste and to reduce pesticide exposure.
  • Adjust the lemon or citrus juice quantity according to your preferred level of tartness.
  • Fresh ginger adds a spicy kick; adjust the amount to suit your taste.
  • If using a blender, straining is essential to remove pulp and achieve juice consistency.
  • Consume fresh juice immediately for maximum nutritional benefit and best flavor.
