Green juice is my favorite healthy indulgence! Over the past few years, I have tried a lot of variations of green juice from juice and smoothie shops and grocery stores. I realized that my favorite green juice recipes always included kale, celery, apples, cucumber, ginger, and lemon. It’s clearly a magical combination! It tastes so refreshing!
Juicing is an enjoyable activity for me. I love being in the kitchen and it’s nice to make something super healthy in my own home.

Another reason I love juicing is it saves so much money!

With this green juice recipe, you get much more juice for less cost, and you get fresh juice packed with nutrition!

How to make this Green Juice Recipe with a blender:
-Cut the ingredients into small chunks. Remove the tough veins from the kale. Add liquid if needed. Water or apple juice would be my choice. Use a sieve to remove the pulp.
Juicing Tips:
Invest in a good juicer. You’ll want one that works well. I have aHurom juicer and have loved it!
Use organic when possible. Buy produce that’s in season and on sale to help cut cost.
The juice tastes best cold so I always add a few ice cubes.
Save your pulp! See below for ideas.
Clean your juicer immediately after using it. That makes it much easier to clean.
Drink the juice, if possible, right after making it for the most nutrition.
Find what works best with your body on when to have juice. If you make a juice recipe with more fruit the sugar content will be higher. So you may want to not drink it on an empty stomach.
Experiment with flavor combinations. I like to look at my favorite juice and smoothie shops for inspiration on which produce may go well together.
This Green Juice recipe made just a little over 25 ounces. As you can see, when you juice there is always juice pulp! You don’t want to waste that.
What to do with leftover pulp:
Add to baked goods
Freeze and add to smoothies
Add it to soup or pasta sauce
Compost
Etc.!
And my very favorite way is to make HEALTHY JUICE PULP MUFFINS.
These ingredients altogether make for the tastiest green juice! The kale gives it a dark green color and a super boost of nutrition, moisture-rich celery and cucumber give out a lot of juice and add to the flavor profile, the apples give it sweetness, and the lemon and ginger add just the right amount of tartness and flavor.
Enjoy!

Notes
Instead of juicing the lemon, you can just squeeze the lemon juice into the green juice. This works best for certain juicers.
