Ingredients
Greens
- 2 cups kale
- 1 handful fresh parsley (about 1 oz)
Vegetables and Fruits
- 2 large celery stalks, trimmed and roughly chopped
- 1 granny smith apple, cored, stem removed, and chopped
- 1/2 large cucumber, with skin on, chopped loosely
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 inch piece of ginger, peeled
Liquids
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Blend Kale, Parsley, and Water: Place kale, parsley, and water into the blender. Blend until smooth, as blending these ingredients first helps break down the tough greens for a finer texture.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the peeled ginger, chopped celery, apple, cucumber, and lemon juice into the blender with the kale mixture.
- Blend Until Liquified: Blend on high speed for about one minute until the juice is fully liquified and smooth. Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.
- Storage: For storing, pour the juice into a 1-liter mason jar and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for 3 to 4 days.
Notes
- Blending the greens with water first helps improve the texture of the juice.

- This recipe serves 2 and can be doubled for larger servings.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness up to 4 days.
- Optional: Add ice cubes for a chilled juice or a squeeze of honey for extra sweetness if desired.
