Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch of lacinato kale, or 1/2 bunch each spinach and kale, 7 ounces total, see notes
- 2 cucumbers, 1 pound 6 ounces
- 2–3 apples, I used Pink Lady, 1 pound 8 ouces
- 1 small thumb of ginger, about 2“, 1/4 ounce to taste
- 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Wash the greens, and set them aside in a colander to drip dry while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Prepare the rest of the ingredients accordingly for your juicer. I like to juice my lemon separately with a reamer rather than peel it and run it through the juicer.
- Juice all the prepared ingredients through the juicer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- If you don’t have a juicer, you can still make juice in your blender. First chop up all your ingredients, then place them into the blender, and blend with enough water to be smooth, (I’d only recommend doing this with a high powered blender). Then strain your mixture through a nut milk bag or very fine cheesecloth to create juice.
Notes
I like a lot of greens in my green juice, but if you’re new to green juices, try starting with less and working up to as much as you like. Better to add a bit more than not be able to take it away.
