Equipment
- blender
- fine-mesh strainer
- large bowl
- knife
- cutting board
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
Base
- 1 1/2 cups cold water
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves packed
- 1 medium green apple cored and chopped
- 1/2 large cucumber chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 inch fresh ginger peeled
Instructions
- Prepare all produce by washing the spinach, mint, apple, cucumber, and celery thoroughly under cold running water.
- Core the apple and chop it into 1-inch pieces, then chop the cucumber and celery into similar sized chunks for even juicing.
- Add 1 1/2 cups cold water to your blender jar first, followed by the spinach, mint leaves, chopped apple, cucumber, celery, peeled ginger, and lemon juice.
- Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible chunks remaining, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag over a large bowl and pour the blended mixture through to separate the pulp from the juice.
- Press down on the pulp with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid, leaving only dry pulp in the strainer.
- Pour the strained green juice into glasses filled with ice and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
Notes
For a smoother juice, use a nut milk bag for straining. Chill ingredients beforehand for an extra refreshing drink.
