Easy Green Juice Recipe
Description
Easy Green Juice Recipe uses a blend of sliced cucumber, celery, leafy kale and spinach, fresh ginger, lime juice, and apples. The process involves blending all ingredients until smooth and straining through a fine mesh or nut milk bag to extract juice, removing fibrous pulp. The flavor is fresh and green with a slight zing from lime and ginger, balanced by the sweetness of apple. The juice is then chilled before serving which helps bring out its refreshing quality.
The juice’s texture is smooth and clean, without bits of fiber from the vegetables and fruit. It can be served as a healthy drink for hydration or as a light refreshment. The combination of dark leafy greens and fruity elements creates a complex yet mild flavor profile.
Thorough washing of vegetables and fruits is important to remove dirt. The juice may separate upon standing, so stirring is recommended before drinking. Using a high-powered blender and squeezing with a nut milk bag or fine strainer ensures maximum juice yield.
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber sliced
- 3 talks celery sliced
- 3 leaves kale removed from stem
- 1 cup spinach baby leaves, loosely packed
- 1 piece ginger approx 1-2 inch chunk, fresh
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 apple cored and sliced
Instructions
- Blend the juice. Place all of the ingredients into a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. If you need to, use your tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of your blender.
- Strain the juice. Pour the green juice through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a storage container. Press on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
- Chill and serve. Chill the juice before serving, then enjoy.
Notes
- Wash all vegetables and fruits thoroughly before blending to ensure cleanliness.
- Juice separation is normal; stir well before serving to recombine.
- A durable nut milk bag helps extract more juice and lasts longer for regular use.
