Equipment

  •  Glass

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Granny Smith apple or any large tart apple
  • 1 bunch curly kale about 5 oz
  • 5 celery ribs trimmed
  • ½ large English cucumber peeled
  • 1- inch piece of fresh ginger root peeled
  • 1 small lemon juiced
  • A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley about 1 oz

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Start by washing all your fresh produce thoroughly. Removing any dirt ensures your drink is as clean and healthy as possible. Trim the ends off your celery and peel your cucumber. For the ginger, a simple peeling with a spoon works wonders; it’s quite the handy trick!

Step 2: Chop and Dice

  • Roughly chop your apple, cucumber, and celery into manageable pieces for your juicer or blender. Don’t worry too much about the size; it all gets pureed. Just ensure everything is roughly even for consistency!

Step 3: Juice It Up!

  • If you’re using a juicer, simply feed the chopped ingredients into the machine. For a blender, toss everything in along with a cup of water—this boosts the liquids and helps your blender work its magic. Blend until smooth.

Step 4: Strain (Optional)

  • If you prefer a smoother juice, strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. This step is optional; some folks enjoy a bit of pulp in their juice for extra fiber!

Step 5: Add Lemon and Parsley

  • After straining (if you opted to), add your lemon juice and parsley to the mixture. Blend for just a few seconds to combine everything well. This enhances the flavor without over-processing the ingredients.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Pour your fresh green juice into a glass. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of parsley or a slice of lemon. Take a moment to enjoy your vibrant creation before gulping it down.

Notes

Creating your perfect batch involves a bit of finesse and some insider tips:

Experiment with Herbs: Basil or mint can create a delightful twist.
Drink Immediately: For maximum nutrients, consume right after making.
Prep Ahead: Chop your ingredients the night before for a quick morning prep!
