Description
A refreshing and nutrient-dense green juice combining lemon, cucumber, kale, and ginger, perfect for an energizing start to your day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cucumber
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 green apple (medium)
- 1 cup fresh spinach (packed)
- 1 cup kale (de-stemmed, packed)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled
- Water, as needed (for consistency)
Instructions
- Wash all ingredients thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry.
- Core the apple (peeling optional), and cut the cucumber, celery, apple, and ginger into pieces that fit your juicer chute. Remove tough kale stems.
- Feed ingredients through your juicer, alternating softer and firmer items to help extraction. If using a blender, add all ingredients plus 1 cup water and blend until smooth; strain through a cheesecloth or fine mesh if you prefer a clear juice.
- Stir in the lemon juice. If the juice is too thick, add water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust—more lemon for brightness, more apple for sweetness, or a small pinch of salt if you like.
- Serve immediately over ice or chilled and enjoy the refreshing taste!
Notes
Drink immediately after juicing for maximum nutrients. Variations can include adding other fruits or adjusting the sweetness.
