For the Green Juice

Cucumber
Cucumber is hydrating and light, with a fresh flavor that balances the more intense greens in the juice. It’s the perfect base for a refreshing drink.

Spinach
Spinach is loaded with iron, fiber, and vitamins A, C, and K. It’s a mild green, making it perfect for juicing without overpowering the flavor.

Celery
Celery adds a nice, crisp crunch and is packed with fiber and antioxidants. It’s also super hydrating!

Green Apple
A green apple adds a subtle sweetness and a tartness that gives the juice a nice balance, while providing fiber and vitamin C.

Lemon
A squeeze of lemon brightens up the juice with a zesty kick and enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.

Ginger
Just a small piece of fresh ginger adds a warming zing and has natural anti-inflammatory properties. It’s like a little punch of flavor and health benefits in every sip.

Ice
If you want your juice extra cold and refreshing, a few ice cubes will do the trick!

Instructions

Now, let’s whip up this revitalizing juice!

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Wash your greens (spinach and celery) thoroughly. Core and slice the green apple, peel the cucumber, and remove any seeds. Peel the ginger, and cut the lemon in half.

Step 2: Juice Everything

In a blender or juicer, add the cucumber, spinach, celery, green apple, ginger, and lemon. If using a blender, add a small amount of water to help everything blend smoothly.

Step 3: Blend or Juice

If you’re using a blender, blend everything together until smooth. You can strain the juice using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth if you prefer a smoother consistency. If using a juicer, simply process everything through, and you’ll have pure juice!

Step 4: Chill (Optional)

For an extra refreshing touch, pour the juice into a glass and add a few ice cubes. You can also refrigerate the juice for a few minutes to make it super cold.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Pour the juice into a glass, garnish with a slice of lemon or cucumber if you like, and enjoy your freshly made Refreshing Green Juice. It’s the perfect way to recharge your body and boost your energy!

How to Serve Refreshing Green Juice

This juice is perfect on its own, but here are a few ways to take it up a notch:

Pair with Breakfast

Serve it alongside your morning toast, avocado, or a smoothie bowl for a refreshing and nutritious start to the day.

Additional Tips

Prep Ahead

If you want to make this juice in bulk, you can prep all the ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge. Just blend or juice in the morning for a quick and easy start to your day.

Make It Sweeter

If you prefer a sweeter juice, you can add a little honey or maple syrup to taste, but the green apple should provide enough natural sweetness for most people.

Adjust the Thickness

If you prefer a thinner juice, simply add more water or coconut water to the mixture. For a thicker, smoothie-like consistency, add more apple or cucumber.

Use a Juicer for Maximum Efficiency

A juicer will give you the smoothest, most nutrient-packed juice, but if you don’t have one, a blender works just fine too. You may just need to strain the juice afterward.
