Detox Green Juice
If you love a good green juice but not the $8–$12 price tag, you’re going to appreciate this. You can make this one at home for under $3—which means you can get four servings for the price of a single restaurant juice. It’s fresh, nutrient-rich, supports digestion, helps calm inflammation, and boosts hydration! Bonus: you don’t need a fancy juicer, just a standard blender. Easy, affordable, and absolutely worth a try.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cold water (or coconut water for slightly more carbs)
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- ½ medium cucumber, chopped
- ½ green apple, cored
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ½-inch piece fresh ginger (or ⅛ tsp ground ginger)
- ½ cup ice
Instructions:
Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and juice-like. Taste and adjust lemon or ginger if desired. Serve immediately.
Optional: strain through a fine mesh sieve if you want a true juice texture—but it’s delicious and healthier unstrained.
Bonus flavor boosters: Add fresh mint leaves for spa vibes. Add ½ tsp (raw, local) honey or monk fruit if you like it sweeter. Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance flavor naturally.
