Best Green Juice Recipe

My version of healthy Green Juice is as delicious as it is nutritious! This versatile fresh juice recipe can be easily customized to match your taste and the produce you have on hand. As an added bonus, this homemade green juice is pulp-free and can be made in a blender or a juicer.

Ingredients
- 4 large 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
- 2 tablespoon Fresh Lemon lime juice or orange juice (or a combination)
- A handful of fresh parsley or fresh mint
- Ice for serving optional
Instructions
Prep your fruit and veggies:
- Wash all produce thoroughly before using.
- If making the juice in a juicer, you can cut the apples and cucumber into quarters, and each celery stalk/rib into thirds.
- If using a blender, cut the fruit and veggies into smaller pieces for easier processing. Cut the apples into wedges, and the cucumber and celery into thick slices.
Juicer Instructions:
- Check your juicer manufacturer’s instructions before you start operating it.
- With the motor running, feed all the ingredients (except ice) into the juicer, catching the juices in a bowl.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes (optional), pour juice onto glasses and serve immediately.
Blender Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a high-power blender. Blend until smooth, about 2 minutes, using a tamper as needed to push the ingredients into the blender’s blades. Pour juice through a fine mesh strainer or a nut-milk bag.
- If using a strainer, press the pulp into the sieve with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard solids.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes (optional), pour juice onto glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
- Additions and Variations:Replace spinach with kale (or any other leafy green), or use both by adding 4 kale leaves removed from the steam and a handful of baby spinach leaves.Add a seedless, peeled orange or tangerine for more citrus flavor.
- Meal-Prep: Prep all your fruit and veggies and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge overnight.
- Storing: Green juice is best when consumed immediately after making it as it retains its' nutritional value however, this powerhouse of nutrients can be kept in a sealed container, jar or lidded pitcher in the fridge, for up to 24 hours.
- Stirring: As the juice sits, it will separate. Stir well before serving.
