Cucumber Celery Green Juice

I’ll be honest — the first time I tried green juice, I thought it tasted like lawn clippings. But my buddy kept raving about how energized he felt, so I decided to come up with my own version that actually tastes good. The green apple and lemon make all the difference here — they brighten everything up so you’re getting all those greens without feeling like you’re drinking a salad. This one converted me, and now it’s part of my Sunday morning routine.

Ingredients

• 1 large English cucumber
• 4 celery stalks
• 1 green apple, cored
• 1 lemon, peeled
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger
• Handful of fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep the produce: Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Cut cucumber and celery into pieces that fit your juicer.
2. Core the apple: Quarter and core the green apple — no need to peel it.
3. Juice in order: Feed the cucumber and celery through first, followed by the apple, lemon, and ginger.
4. Stir well: Give the juice a good stir to combine all the flavors evenly.
5. Serve immediately: Pour into a glass over ice and enjoy right away for maximum freshness.

Tips

• No juicer? Blend everything with ½ cup water and strain through a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer.
• Start with less ginger if you’re sensitive to spice — you can always add more.
• Drink within 24 hours for the best nutrient content — store in an airtight jar in the fridge.
• Add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra green boost without changing the flavor much.
