Apple Celery Green Juice
Crisp green apples meet earthy kale and bright celery in this vibrant morning drink. You don't need a fancy juicer to pull this off, as a standard blender and some cheesecloth work just as well. The natural sweetness of the fruit perfectly balances the greens, creating a smooth, refreshing beverage that'll wake you right up. It's a simple three-ingredient routine you'll actually look forward to drinking.
Ingredients
- 6 large celery stalks (1 pound / 450 g total)
- 4 large green apples (1¾ pounds / 800 g total)
- 2 kale leaves
Instructions
- 1Wash the celery, apples, and kale thoroughly. Trim the celery into smaller pieces, core the apples, and strip the kale leaves from their tough center ribs. Removing the ribs prevents the juice from tasting overly bitter.
- 2Process the prepared produce through a juicer. If you're using a blender, puree the ingredients until smooth, then pour the mixture through cheesecloth and squeeze firmly to extract the liquid. Pour into glasses and serve chilled.
Notes
- Equipment: If you don't have cheesecloth, a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag works perfectly for straining blended juice.
- Storage: Fresh juice is best consumed immediately, but you can keep it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Prep: Leave the apple skin on for extra nutrients and a brighter green color.
