Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, packed
- 1 cup kale leaves, torn, stems removed
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled if waxed
- 1 medium green apple, cored
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root, grated
- 2 large celery stalks, chopped
- 1 cup cold filtered water
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse all produce thoroughly under cold water. Tear kale leaves from stems and discard stems. Chop cucumber into quarters, core the green apple, and roughly chop celery stalks. Grate fresh ginger finely.
- Using a citrus juicer or by hand, extract the juice from one lemon. Remove any seeds and set aside.
- Place spinach, kale, cucumber, green apple, celery, grated ginger, and lemon juice into the blender. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of cold filtered water to help the blades move freely.
- Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for about 60-90 seconds until the mixture is smooth and vibrant green. Blend longer or pulse intermittently if your blender is less powerful.
- Optional: Pour the blend through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a pitcher or glass to remove pulp. Press out as much liquid as possible. Add ice cubes if desired and stir gently.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir before drinking if stored.
Notes
Use organic produce when possible, especially leafy greens. Adjust ginger amount to taste. For a creamier texture, add ripe avocado or coconut yogurt. If juice tastes too strong or bitter, add more water or a drizzle of raw honey. Drink immediately or within 24 hours for best flavor and nutrients. Avoid freezing.
