- 1 green apple
- 1 handful of spinach
- 1 handful of kale
- 1 lemon (peeled)
- 1-inch piece of ginger
- Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or a pinch of cayenne pepper for added flavor
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash all the produce thoroughly. Peel the lemon and ginger if desired. Chop the cucumber, celery, and apple into smaller pieces for easier blending or juicing.
- Juicing: If you have a juicer, run all the ingredients through it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you’re using a blender, blend the ingredients with a small amount of water until smooth.
- Strain (Optional): For a smoother juice, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove pulp.
- Serve: Pour the juice into a glass and serve immediately. Add ice cubes for a chilled drink and garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint.
