Ingredients

• 2 large cucumber
• 2 cups spinach
• 3 celery stalks
• 1 medium green apple
• 1 lemon
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 1 cup water
• 4 ice cubes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash all produce thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.

Step 2

Peel the cucumber if desired (optional for a milder flavor), and then cut it into chunks.

Step 3

Slice the celery stalks into smaller pieces for easier blending or juicing.

Step 4

Core and chop the green apple. No need to peel it unless preferred.

Step 5

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out the juice, discarding seeds. You can also peel the lemon and use the whole fruit in the juice if you're using a blender.

Step 6

Peel the ginger and cut it into smaller pieces to ensure even blending or juicing.

Step 7

If using a juicer, feed the cucumber, spinach, celery, apple, ginger, and lemon juice through the juicer one at a time, collecting the juice in a container. Add water to the juice and stir well.

Step 8

If using a blender, add the cucumber, spinach, celery, apple, ginger, lemon juice, and water to the blender. Blend on high until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag to remove pulp. Discard the pulp and keep the juice.

Step 9

Pour the juice into glasses and serve immediately over ice if desired.

Step 10

Enjoy your nutrient-packed Mean Green Cucumber Juice!
