Ingredients
  • 1 medium Grapefruit
  • 1 cup Spinach
  • 1/2 medium Cucumber
  • 1/2 medium Green Apple
  • 1/4 Lemon
  • 1/2 inch Ginger
  • 1/2 cup Water

Prepare the Ingredients

Wash all the ingredients thoroughly. Peel the grapefruit, removing the outer rind and as much of the white pith as possible. Roughly chop the spinach, cucumber, green apple, lemon and ginger.

Blend

Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender. Add water to help with the blending process and to achieve your desired consistency.

Blend Until Smooth

Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired texture.

Strain (Optional)

For a smoother juice without pulp, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. This step is optional but recommended for those who prefer a less textured juice.

Serve Immediately

Pour the juice into a glass and serve immediately. This juice is best consumed fresh to retain its nutritional benefits.

FAQ

  • Can I substitute any of the green vegetables?

    Yes, you can substitute spinach with kale or other leafy greens. Just be mindful that different greens may alter the taste slightly.
  • Is it necessary to add lemon?

    The lemon juice helps to brighten the flavor and prevent oxidation, which keeps the juice fresher for longer. It also adds a boost of Vitamin C.
  • Can I prepare this juice in advance?

    While it's best to consume the juice immediately, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be aware that some separation may occur, so shake well before drinking.
