Equipment

Vitamix blender (or blender of choice)
nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer

Ingredients

3 cups spinach and kale (or leafy greens of choice)
2 apples (1 green + 1 red)
3 stalks celery
½ English cucumber
¼ cup fresh parsley (or other herbs)
1 tsp fresh ginger root (optional)
1 lime, juiced (or lemon)
4 cups cold water (adjust amount to your preference*)

Instructions

In a large blender, combine all green juice ingredients. (I used my 64-oz Vitamix, and it was filled to the max line! If you have a smaller blender, cut the recipe in half.)
Blend until all ingredients are broken up and integrated. (This can take 2-5 minutes, depending on your blender.)
Once blended, strain the juice through a nut milk bag, squeezing the bag to get every ounce of juice. (You can also use a fine mesh strainer, although your juice will have a bit more pulp.)
Discard the pulp or save/freeze it for smoothies.
Serve green juice and enjoy!
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
Yields ~7 cups homemade green juice.

Notes

*Note on Amount of Water:

You can use more or less water to make your own green juice, depending on your preference. Using more water will yield more total juice, but your juice will be more diluted in terms of its nutrient content & sweetness. Using less water will yield a bit less juice, but your juice will be sweeter, more flavorful, and more nutrient-dense.
