Step 1: Prepare the Produce
Wash the celery, apple, cucumber, and lemon thoroughly.
- Chop the celery into smaller pieces.
- Core and chop the green apple.
- Slice the cucumber.
- Peel the ginger.
- Squeeze the juice from half a lemon.
Step 2: Blend
Add the celery, green apple, cucumber, ginger, lemon juice, and water (if using) to a high-powered blender.
Blend for 1–2 minutes until smooth.
Step 3: Strain (Optional)
For a smoother juice, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
If you prefer more fiber, skip this step and enjoy it as a smoothie.
Step 4: Chill
Pour the juice into glasses over ice cubes if desired.
Step 5: Serve
Serve immediately while fresh for the best flavor and nutrient content.
Tips
- Add a few fresh mint leaves for extra freshness.
- If you like a sweeter drink, add another half of a green apple.
- Drink immediately after blending to preserve the freshest taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and shake well before drinking.
