  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables and Greens

  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 3 stalks celery, sliced
  • 3 leaves kale, removed from stem
  • 1 cup spinach, baby leaves, loosely packed

Fruits

  • 2 apples, cored and sliced

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 piece fresh ginger, approx 1-2 inch chunk
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash all fresh produce thoroughly. Slice the cucumber, celery, and apples as noted. Remove kale leaves from their stems and loosely pack the spinach.
  2. Add to Juicer: Place the cucumber, celery, kale, spinach, apples, and ginger into a juicer, alternating between the softer and firmer items to ensure smooth extraction of juice.
  3. Extract the Juice: Turn on the juicer and process all ingredients until fully juiced and the pulp is separated.
  4. Mix and Flavor: Pour the extracted juice into a glass or pitcher and stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice for added brightness and flavor balance.
  5. Serve Chilled: Serve the green juice immediately over ice if desired, or refrigerate briefly to enjoy a cold, refreshing drink. For best nutrition and taste, consume within 24 hours.

Notes

  • Use organic produce when possible to reduce pesticide exposure.
  • Adjust the amount of ginger based on your spice preference.
  • Lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps preserve the juice longer.
  • If you don’t have a juicer, you can blend the ingredients in a blender and strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag for similar results.
  • This juice is best consumed fresh to retain maximum nutrients.
