Ingredients You’ll Need

The base of this recipe is fresh produce. I start with fresh greens, fresh kale and fresh baby spinach. I love the combination of taste of the greens. And a whole head of romaine lettuce for extra juice and flavor.
I also add some celery and cucumbers for freshness and flavor. I love the astringent taste of these, and they both work so well in the juice.
And I like adding some fresh apple and fresh ginger root for extra sweetness and spice.
For the best fruit juice, I love using my easy clean slow juicer, which gets each delicious drop out of the fruit. It’s great for most fruits and larger peeled citrus!
If your looking for a great juicer, it’s quiet, simple to clean, and an excellent tool we use almost daily.
Additions and Substitutions
You can add any variety of apples you prefer. I had fuji apples on hand, but any type of apple will work well.
You could also substitute your favorite greens instead of spinach, kale, or romaine lettuce. Or add arugula, cabbage, carrot, or turmeric root.
You can skip the apple juice if you prefer just vegetables.
How To Make This Recipe
Step 1: Wash and chop all your fruits and vegetables. Chop them small enough so they fit into your juicer model.

Step 3: Turn the juicer on and run the machine until all your fruits and vegetables are juiced. Compost or discard the pulp.
Step 4: Transfer your juice into your favorite glass, and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
While ingredients can vary based on the type of juice, I found that a combination of fresh greens (kale, spinach, romaine lettuce), vegetables (cucumber, celery), and fruits and roots (apple, orange, or ginger) make a wonderful green juice.
If you notice a spicy flavor in your green juice, it’s likely the fresh ginger root. Fresh ginger can give the juice a kick and nice sharp taste.
Yes, you could also follow this recipe and add in the ingredients to your blender with 2 cups of water. Just be sure to strain the juice to remove the pulp before enjoying.
