Print Recipe

A mild, refreshing green juice perfect for beginners, made with simple ingredients like spinach, cucumber, celery, green apple, and lemon. This easy recipe blends fiber-rich greens with natural sweetness for a healthy, delicious drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups packed fresh baby spinach
  • 1 medium cucumber (peeled or unpeeled)
  • 2 large celery stalks
  • 1 medium green apple, cored and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1 cup filtered water or coconut water
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and prep your produce: rinse spinach, celery, cucumber, and apple thoroughly under cold water. Remove any tough stems from the spinach and chop celery into smaller pieces.
  2. Chop cucumber and apple into roughly 1-inch chunks to help the blender work more efficiently.
  3. Add spinach, cucumber, celery, apple chunks, grated ginger, and lemon juice into the blender jar. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of filtered water or coconut water.
  4. Blend starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until smooth with no large chunks remaining. Add more water if needed.
  5. Optional: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag to remove pulp for a smoother juice.
  6. Serve chilled over ice cubes if desired. Taste and add more lemon juice or a dash of honey if you prefer it sweeter.

Notes

Use fresh, firm produce for best flavor and texture. Peel cucumber or apple if waxy or sprayed. Adjust apple and lemon juice to balance sweetness and bitterness. Don’t over-blend to avoid heating the juice and dulling freshness. Store juice in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and consume fresh for best taste and nutrients.
