Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 2 minutes
Straining time 3 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yields: 1 serving

Ingredients

  • 1/2 large cucumber (peel if you have a regular blender, no need to peel for a high speed blender)
  • 2 medium stalks celery, cut into 3-inch pieces
  • handful baby or regular spinach
  • 3 stalks stemmed curly kale
  • handful curly or Italian parsley
  • 1/2 lemon, skin cut off
  • 1/2 navel orange, skin cut off
  • 1-inch piece peeled ginger
  • 1 pear or apple, cored and quartered
  • 2/3 cup water (more as needed)

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to your blender. Blend all ingredients together for 30-120 seconds, or as long as it takes to create an evenly blended mixture. Add up to an additional 1/4 cup water as needed to facilitate blending.
  • Cover the mouth of a roomy mason jar with two layers of cheesecloth or a nut milk bag. Pour the juice into the mason jar, straining through the cheesecloth.
  • Give the cheesecloth a good squeeze to extract as much juice as possible.
  • Drink juice immediately, or cover the mason jar and refrigerate for up to a few hours.
