Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 2 cups spinach
- 3 celery stalks
- 1 medium green apple
- 1 lemon
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 cup water
- 4 ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
Peel the cucumber if desired (optional for a milder flavor), and then cut it into chunks.
Slice the celery stalks into smaller pieces for easier blending or juicing.
Core and chop the green apple. No need to peel it unless preferred.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out the juice, discarding seeds. You can also peel the lemon and use the whole fruit in the juice if you're using a blender.
Peel the ginger and cut it into smaller pieces to ensure even blending or juicing.
If using a juicer, feed the cucumber, spinach, celery, apple, ginger, and lemon juice through the juicer one at a time, collecting the juice in a container. Add water to the juice and stir well.
If using a blender, add the cucumber, spinach, celery, apple, ginger, lemon juice, and water to the blender. Blend on high until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag to remove pulp. Discard the pulp and keep the juice.
Pour the juice into glasses and serve immediately over ice if desired.
Enjoy your nutrient-packed Mean Green Cucumber Juice!
