Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 green apples (core removed and cut into 1-inch chunks)
- 1 cup seedless cucumber (chopped)
- 1 ounce fresh peeled ginger root
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 1-2 tablespoon honey
- 2 cups filtered water
- Optional: juice of 1 lemon
- 1 can sparkling water or club soda
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients: Add the green apples, chopped cucumber, peeled ginger root, fresh spinach, honey, filtered water, and optional lemon juice to a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until smooth and well combined.
- Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh strainer into a glass jar or measuring cup. Squeeze or press to extract as much juice as possible, and discard the remaining pulp.
- Assemble the Mocktail: Pour about 1/4 cup of the strained green juice into a glass filled with ice. Top it off with sparkling water or club soda to add a refreshing fizz.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish your mocktail with a slice of lemon or cucumber for a fresh finishing touch. Serve immediately for the best taste and chill.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of honey to taste for desired sweetness.
- Use a nut milk bag for a clearer juice, or a fine strainer for a bit more pulp and fiber.
- For a more intense ginger flavor, add a little extra fresh ginger root.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy optimum freshness and fizz from the sparkling water.
- Can be made ahead by preparing the green juice and storing it in the refrigerator, then adding sparkling water before serving.
