Fresh Green Juice
This default blender preparation stays unstrained and keeps all edible pulp; cucumber and celery keep it refreshing while apple and lemon soften the spinach and ginger.

- 01
Chop the cucumber, celery, apple, lemon, and ginger into blender-friendly pieces.
- 02
Add the cold water, spinach, and chopped produce to a high-powered blender, then blend until as smooth as possible, about 60 to 90 seconds.
- 03
Stir and serve the full unstrained blend immediately. Straining or using a juicer removes some pulp and changes the nutrition, so those methods are not represented by the estimate shown here.

Fresh Green Juice FAQs
Can I make this green juice without a juicer?
Yes. This recipe is designed for a blender: cucumber, celery, apple, spinach, peeled lemon, and ginger are blended with cold water. A high-powered blender gives a finer texture. Straining produces a different yield and removes some of the pulp counted in the displayed nutrition.
Can I strain this green juice?
Yes, but the displayed nutrition is for the unstrained blender version with all edible pulp retained. Straining removes an unmeasured amount of fiber and other nutrients.
How long does fresh green juice last?
It is best immediately, but a tightly sealed container filled to the top can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
