Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry.
Peel the cucumber and carrot if desired, and chop them into chunks for easier blending.
Core the tomatoes and chop them into quarters.
Chop the celery stalks into smaller pieces.
Add the cucumber, tomatoes, celery, spinach leaves, carrot, lemon juice, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and water into a blender.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has a drinkable consistency.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Add ice cubes and blend again briefly to chill the juice.
Pour the juice into two glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a small sprig of parsley or a slice of cucumber on the rim of the glass.
