A quick and easy green juice made with fresh spinach, kale, cucumber, green apple, lemon juice, and ginger. This refreshing juice is perfect for a natural energy boost and fits seamlessly into busy days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, packed
  • 1 cup kale leaves, stems removed
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled if not organic
  • 1 medium green apple, cored and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (optional)
  • 1 to 1½ cups cold water
  • A handful of ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the spinach and kale thoroughly under cold water to remove dirt or grit. Strip the kale leaves from the tough stems.
  2. Peel the cucumber if it’s not organic, then chop it into chunks about 1 inch in size.
  3. Core and chop the green apple into similar-sized pieces.
  4. Grate the fresh ginger (about 1 teaspoon) or measure ground ginger if using.
  5. Roll the lemon on the counter with your palm to loosen juices, then cut in half and squeeze out 2 tablespoons of juice. Strain to remove seeds if needed.
  6. Start with the water (1 cup) in the blender, then add spinach, kale, cucumber, green apple, lemon juice, and ginger. Add ice cubes if you want chilled juice.
  7. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. If your blender struggles, pause and stir the mixture or add a bit more water.
  8. If the juice is too thick, add up to ½ cup more water and blend again briefly.
  9. Taste and add an extra squeeze of lemon or a touch of honey if you prefer it sweeter. Blend again to combine.
  10. Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a lemon slice or a sprig of mint if desired.

Notes

Use organic spinach and kale for the cleanest flavor. Granny Smith apples add tartness, but Fuji or Gala apples can be used for a sweeter juice. Fresh ginger is preferred but ground ginger can be substituted. For a dairy-free version, use only water and ice. If your blender is low-powered, chop ingredients smaller and blend in stages. Juice is best served immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Avoid freezing.
