Ingredients
Vegetables and Fruits
- 1 large cucumber, chopped
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 green apple, cored and chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
- Juice of 1 lemon
Liquids and Others
- 1/2 cup cold water (or more, as needed)
- Ice cubes (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash and chop the cucumber, celery, green apple, spinach, and parsley. Peel the ginger and squeeze the juice from one lemon to prepare all fresh ingredients for blending.
- Blend Mixture: Add cucumber, celery, green apple, spinach, parsley, and ginger to a blender. Pour in the lemon juice and cold water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Strain Juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or a nut milk bag into a pitcher or glass. Press or squeeze gently to extract all the juice, leaving behind the pulp.
- Serve: Discard or save the pulp for smoothies or compost. Serve the freshly extracted green juice immediately over ice cubes if desired for a chilled refreshing drink.
Notes
- For additional sweetness, add a small piece of pineapple or an extra apple to the blender before blending.
- To keep the juice fresh and chilled, store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and shake well before serving.
