A quick and easy revitalizing green juice packed with detoxifying greens, fresh lemon, and ginger for a refreshing and nourishing boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups kale leaves, tightly packed, washed and tough stems removed
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled if preferred
  • 1 medium green apple, cored and chopped
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • 2 medium celery stalks
  • A small handful fresh parsley
  • 1 cup filtered water (or as needed)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fresh produce thoroughly under cold water. Remove tough kale stems and chop kale leaves into 1-inch strips. Core and chop the green apple into chunks. Peel the cucumber if preferred, then slice into pieces.
  2. Peel the ginger using the edge of a spoon and cut into smaller chunks.
  3. Place kale, cucumber, green apple, celery stalks, parsley, and ginger into the blender jar. Pour in the lemon juice and about 1 cup (240 ml) of filtered water.
  4. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and no large chunks remain. Add more water in 1/4 cup (60 ml) increments if too thick or blender struggles.
  5. Optional: Pour the blend through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag for a smoother juice, pressing gently to extract liquid. Otherwise, keep the pulp for fiber.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup if desired, then blend briefly again. Thin with more water if needed.
  7. Serve immediately in a glass or jar. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for better brightness. Layer ingredients starting with softer items at the bottom for easier blending. Blend long enough to avoid gritty bits. Adjust ginger amount to taste. Drink juice within 24 hours for best freshness and nutrient retention.
