Here’s a tasty green morning juice recipe that’s not only healthy but also delicious:
Ingredients:
– 1 cup spinach leaves
– 1 cup kale leaves (stems removed)
– 1 medium cucumber (peeled if not organic)
– 1 green apple (cored and sliced)
– 1/2 lemon (peeled)
– 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (peeled)
– 1-2 stalks of celery
– 1 cup coconut water or water (adjust to desired consistency)
– Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
1. Wash all the vegetables and fruits thoroughly.
2. If you prefer your juice chilled, you can add a few ice cubes to your blender before starting.
3. Chop the cucumber, apple, lemon, ginger, and celery into smaller pieces, making it easier for the blender to process.
4. Place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender.
5. Add the coconut water or regular water to the blender to help with blending. You can adjust the amount of liquid depending on how thick or thin you prefer your juice.
6. Blend on high speed until smooth. If necessary, stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
7. Once the juice is smooth, taste and adjust the flavor if necessary. You can add more lemon for extra tanginess or ginger for a bit of zing.
8. If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag to remove any pulp.
9. Pour the juice into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing and nutritious green morning juice!
Feel free to customize this recipe by adding other greens like parsley or cilantro, or even a slice of pineapple for a hint of sweetness. The key is to find a combination of ingredients that you enjoy and that provides you with the nutrients you need to start your day right.
