Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1/2 head celery, chopped
- 1 organic cucumber, chopped
- 1 handful organic parsley, chopped in half
- 1/2 bundle organic kale, chopped in thirds
- 1 3-inch piece ginger, chopped
Fruits
- 1 small organic green apple, stem removed, sliced
- 1 medium lemon, peeled and sliced
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Rinse and dry all produce thoroughly. Chop the celery, cucumber, parsley, kale, and ginger into sizes appropriate for your juicer’s chute, as recommended by your juicer’s manual. Peel and slice the lemon carefully to aid juicing efficiency.
- Load and juice: Turn on your juicer. Begin by feeding the celery through, followed by cucumber, herbs, and greens. Finish by juicing the ginger, apple, and lemon. Use the tamper as needed to guide the produce down the chute and ensure all juice is extracted effectively.
- Final pass: Allow the apples and lemons to pass through the juicer last, as they help push through any remaining produce stuck in the machine to maximize juice yield.
- Serve or store: Enjoy your green juice immediately to benefit from peak nutrient content. Alternatively, transfer the juice into a sealed jar and refrigerate up to 24 to 48 hours. Avoid freezing to preserve flavor and nutritional quality.
Notes
- If you don’t have a juicer, see the referenced guide on How to Make Juice without a Juicer for alternative methods.
- For best results, peel citrus fruits before juicing to avoid clogging the machine and ensure thorough extraction.
- Consume juice fresh for optimal nutrient potency as some vitamins degrade quickly after juicing.
- Store juice in airtight containers in the refrigerator and avoid freezing as it is not freezer friendly.
- Recommended juicer type includes slow masticating juicers like Hurom for best flavor and nutrient retention.
