Description
This Green Fruit & Veggie Juice is a fresh, lightly sweet juice made with cucumber, spinach, apple, pear, carrot, lemon, and optional ginger. Everything is blended first, then strained for a smooth, refreshing juice that’s easy to drink and simple to make at home without a juicer.
Ingredients
- cucumber (1, peeled and chopped)
- baby spinach (1 cup, rinsed)
- apple (1, peeled, cored, and chopped)
- pear (1, peeled, cored, and chopped)
- carrot (1, peeled and chopped)
- lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- fresh ginger (½ teaspoon minced, optional)
- water (½ cup)
Instructions
- Add cucumber, baby spinach, apple, pear, carrot, lemon juice, fresh ginger, and water to a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Place a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer over a large bowl or mason jar. Pour the blended mixture into the strainer and gently squeeze until all liquid is extracted. Discard the pulp.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 24 hours.
Notes
This recipe can be doubled in a large high-speed blender, but tripling it will likely exceed the blender’s capacity. If you need more, blend in batches.
Peeling the cucumber, apple, pear, and carrot creates a smoother juice and improves yield when straining.
A nut milk bag gives the smoothest result, but a fine mesh strainer works well if that’s what you have.
This juice is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Stir or shake before drinking.
