You don’t need a juicer to make this healthy Green Juice recipe. It’s made with apples, celery, cucumber, ginger, lime.
One of my favorite kitchen toys is a slow juicer. As much as I love the juice it makes, there are days I don’t use it because I don’t feel like cleaning it afterwards. That’s when I pull out my blender, strainer and spatula. You can make all types of great juices without a juicer. I’ve made fresh carrot, orange and an assortment of juice blends.
How To Make Green Juice
Ingredients
1 cup water
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and diced
2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
1/2 lime, peel removed and sectioned
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 pear, cored and diced (optional to make the juice a little sweeter)
Quick Tip
Dice the apples in small even sizes (with the skin on) to allow them to be blended easily.
Equipment Needed
A high speed blender will help make creating your favorite juice blends easier.
You will need a colander lined with cheesecloth and spatula to press the juice out of the pulp. You can also use a nut milk bag to filter the juice. If you like the pulp, you can skip the strainer and pour the juice blend into a glass filled with ice.
