Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium cucumber (peeled if waxed)
  • 3–4 celery stalks
  • 1 green apple (Granny Smith for tartness)
  • 1 packed cup spinach (or 3–4 kale leaves, stems removed)
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger (peeled)
  • 1/2 lemon (peeled)
  • Small pinch cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1/2–1 cup cold water (if blending instead of juicing)
  • Ice (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

  • Wash and prep: Rinse everything well. Core the apple and peel the lemon and ginger.
  • If you have a juicer: Feed in cucumber, celery, apple, spinach, ginger, and lemon. Stir in a tiny pinch of cayenne.
  • If you’re using a blender: Add all produce plus water. Blend on high until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag. Stir in cayenne.
  • Taste and adjust: Add more lemon for brightness or a few extra spinach leaves for a deeper green taste.
  • Serve cold: Pour over ice if you like it extra crisp. Drink within 15–30 minutes for the freshest flavor.
