Ingredients (Makes 2 servings)
- 4 stalks of celery, leaves removed
- 2 green apples, halved or quartered
- 1 cucumber
- 6 kale leaves
- ½ lemon, peeled
- 1 piece fresh ginger (2.5 cm / 1 inch)
Optional: Add an extra apple for a sweeter flavor or a handful of spinach for a more intense green juice.
How to Make It
1. Prepare your produce
Rinse all fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Cut apples and lemon into smaller pieces to help them pass easily through the juicer.
2. Juice everything
Run the celery, apples, cucumber, kale, lemon, and ginger through your juicer.
Juice the ginger last if you want a stronger kick, or use less for a milder flavor.
3. Drink fresh or store
Pour the juice into glasses and enjoy it immediately for the best nutrients.
If storing, keep it in a sealed glass jar for up to 24 hours and shake well before drinking.
Recipe Tips
- Organic celery is worth it. Celery can absorb more pesticides than most vegetables.
- Add sweetness: Use Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala apples.
- Add extra greens: Spinach or parsley blends well without overpowering the flavor.
- Lighter juice: Add a splash of cold water or ice.
