Everyday green juice without a juicer! Super fresh, slightly spicy, and perfectly sweet! Made in 15 or less!
Ingredients
  • 2 kale leaves (or sub chard)
  • 1 apple, cored (I like Gala or Fuji) (skin on)
  • 1 stalk of celery
  • ½ of a cucumber if large, 1 whole if small (skin on)
  • 1 knuckle size piece of fresh ginger, peeled
  • ½ cup cold water
  • Optional: ½ lemon, juiced
Instructions
  1. Wash and roughly chop kale, apple, celery, cucumber, and ginger. Add to blender. Pour in ½ cup cold water.
  2. Blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until everything is incorporated and no big pieces remain. Add ¼ cup more water if having trouble blending.
  3. Place strainer over a bowl. If using cheesecloth, lay it over the strainer. A thin dishtowel would work if you don't have cheesecloth.
  4. Pour everything in the blender over the cheesecloth/strainer. Grab the cheesecloth from each corner and press juice until no liquid remains.
  5. Discard pulp. If adding lemon juice, add it now.
  6. Pour juice into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
*Best when fresh, but leftovers can be stored for up to 2 days in the fridge.
