Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 green apple cored and chopped (crisp and tart, it carries the whole drink)
  • 1 cucumber roughly chopped, or try celery for a more savory glass
  • A big handful of fresh spinach or swap in kale if you like it bolder
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon plus more to taste
  • 1 cup cold water or coconut water for extra electrolytes

Method
 

  1. Wash everything well and chop the apple and cucumber into rough chunks. No need to be neat, the blender does the work.
  2. Add the apple, cucumber, spinach, and water to the blender.
  3. Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, until it's smooth and bright green.
  4. Squeeze in the lemon and give it one more quick pulse. The acid keeps the color vivid.
  5. For a true juice texture, pour it through a fine strainer or nut-milk bag. Prefer the fiber? Skip the strain and drink it as-is.

Notes

  1. No blender: A juicer works too. Skip the water and strain.
  2. Sweeter: Add half a pear or a few pineapple chunks.
  3. Kale: Remove the tough center stems before blending; they make the juice bitter.
  4. Storage: Best fresh. Refrigerate up to 24 hours in a jar filled to the top, and shake before drinking.
