Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
- Vitamix Blender My favorite blender of all time!
- Nut Milk Bag The tool I always use to strain juices or nut milk.
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber sliced
- 3 stalks celery sliced
- 3 leaves kale removed from stem
- 1 cup spinach baby leaves, loosely packed
- 1 piece fresh ginger approx 1-2 inch chunk
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 apples cored and sliced
Instructions
- Blend the juice. Place all of the ingredients into a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. If you need to, use your tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of your blender.
- Strain the juice. Pour the green juice through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a storage container. Press on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
- Chill and serve. Chill the juice before serving, then enjoy.

Notes
- Wash all of your vegetables and fruits thoroughly before using.
- As the juice sits, it will separate. Stir well before serving.
- For straining, this is my favorite nut milk bag! It's durable and lasts forever.
