Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Kale leaves
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Green apple
- 2 Celery stalks
- 1 Lemon
- 0.5 inch Fresh ginger
- 1.5 cups Water
- 3 Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Wash all the produce thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
Peel the cucumber if the skin is waxy or bitter. Then, chop it into smaller chunks.
Cut the green apple into quarters, remove the core, and slice into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Trim the ends off the celery stalks and cut into a few smaller sections.
Peel the lemon, removing as much of the white pith as possible, and cut it into quarters.
Peel the ginger using a spoon or knife and slice into thin pieces.
In a high-speed blender, combine the kale, spinach, cucumber, apple, celery, lemon, ginger, water, and ice cubes.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth. If the texture is too thick, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the juice and, if necessary, add 1 teaspoon of honey for sweetness (especially if serving to kids). Blend again briefly to incorporate.
Pour the green juice through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl or directly into glasses to remove pulp (optional for a smoother texture).
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and maximum nutritional benefit.
