Feed the ingredients through the juicer in alternating wet and dry order, as the recipe lists — juicing wetter produce like cucumber between drier ones like spinach helps push everything through and extracts more juice overall.
Instructions:
Juicer Method
- Prep produce — Wash all produce thoroughly. Peel lemon and orange. Core apples. Roughly chop cucumber and celery.
- Juice — Feed all ingredients through your juicer in this order: spinach, cucumber, celery, apples, ginger, lemon, orange. Alternating wet and dry produce helps extract more juice.
- Stir — Give the juice a good stir as the layers settle.
- Serve — Pour over ice immediately for maximum freshness and nutrient retention.
Blender Method
- Blend — Add all ingredients plus ½ cup cold water to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 60 seconds.
- Strain — Pour through a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer, squeezing firmly to extract all the juice.
- Serve over ice:
Tips: Drink immediately after juicing — nutrients degrade quickly when exposed to air and light. Run the pulp through the juicer a second time to get every last drop. Add a pinch of cayenne for an extra metabolism kick.
Swaps: Spinach can be swapped for kale, romaine, or Swiss chard. Green apple can be swapped for pear for a milder sweetness. Lemon can be swapped for lime for a different citrus profile.
Storage: Best consumed immediately. If storing, pour into an airtight jar filled to the brim to minimize air contact and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
A few ingredients do most of the work in this recipe. The fresh spinach adds color, nutrients, and a mild earthy note. The cucumber adds a cool, crisp freshness. The celery stalks adds a savory, aromatic crunch to the base. The lemon adds acidity that brightens and balances the dish.
