This healthy green juice packed with nutrients is easy to make and doesn't require a juicer! Make it right in the blender for an easy homemade green juice anyone can make.
Whenever I notice that I'm struggling to eat enough fiber (like from fruits and vegetables), I discovered that making my own juice was a simple (and tasty) solution!
When I make a homemade juice, like this glowing green juice, I feel like I have a little pep to my step! It fills me up and gives me a natural source of energy too. Plus, when I add the apples to it, this juice tastes pretty sweet!
I admit that I was pretty nervous that this recipe would taste too earthy, like kale and cucumber. The good news is that it doesn't taste like that at all. The apples mixed with the ginger give it a fruity and zesty taste that you won't be able to stop drinking.
Key Ingredients For Green Juice
This is a really versatile juice recipe that will soon become your favorite! Here's a bit more information about the ingredients I used in it.
- Cucumber: I used an English cucumber because it is seedless. I highly suggest using seedless cucumbers for juice recipes because you won't have to deal with the bits of seeds in your drink.
- Celery: This increases how much fiber is in the juice. You can skip it, but it adds lots of nutrients to your drink without altering the flavor or upping the calorie count.
- Green Apples: There are a few different green apples to choose from, but I think you should go with whatever you like. Golden Delicious apples have a rich honey flavor that will overtake the taste of kale and spinach. Granny Smith apples are extra tart and are usually used in apple pie. Most people enjoy red gala apples in their juice too!
- Kale: Remove the stem and chop the kale before you juice it. It has an overpowering taste, so feel free to use less of it.
- Spinach: For juices and smoothies, try only to use fresh spinach, not canned or frozen.
- Ginger: For the best health benefits, add fresh ginger. Avoid using ginger powder.
- Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice will have abundantly more flavor than jarred, so use the juice from freshly pressed lime!
