Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup kale leaves
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 units celery stalks
- 1 unit green apple
- 1 unit lemon
- 1 inch piece ginger root
- 1 cup water
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Rinse all the vegetables, apple, and mint leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
Peel the cucumber, if desired, and chop it into smaller pieces.
Cut the celery stalks into smaller chunks for easier blending.
Core the green apple and cut into slices. Remove seeds if necessary.
Peel the lemon, removing as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness. Cut it into quarters.
Peel the ginger root and slice it into smaller chunks.
In a blender, combine spinach leaves, kale leaves, cucumber, celery, green apple, lemon, ginger, and mint leaves.
Add the cup of water to the blender to help blend the ingredients smoothly.
Begin blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until the mixture is smooth and green. This should take approximately 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.
For a smoother texture, optionally strain the drink through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher or large bowl, pressing out as much liquid as possible.
Pour the detox drink into glasses and serve immediately for the freshest taste and highest nutrient content.
Enjoy your refreshing and nourishing Paleo Green Detox Drink!
